Chiggsglover:
Well, I had to leave my former house after Two months cos the rent was increased from €540 to €700 cos September people are coming, japka

I no dey waste time, this one is €550, plus the room is bigger, with a large wooden desk, two kitchens, three toilet for just 7 folks in the house, and I got a free bike, one of the other tenant left the country and abandoned her bike, it was gathering dust. It's mine, I have three bikes now, Praise the Lord.

I was so lucky with the house thing, I was supposed to pay the rent 1 july, how the landlord forgot, was a miracle, I started looking on the 6th, went to see it, on the 7th, vamoose!!!!!!!!!!

Chiggsglover:

Well for quality one it's from about €350. But it's worth it. Going by the standard weekly bus fare, €20 has gone, times it for a month, that's €80. That's a lot actually.
I won't advise the electric scooter, cos of the small wheels and when you run over a small stone, you might land on the floor with a thud in proportion to your weight. Plus you're only standing like Abraham Lincoln statue and moving around like The Nun in Ed and Lorraine movie.
I can still remember, last year, during my last few months in Nigeria. I usually take my dog for a walk in the evenings, the brt road isn't as active as its quite narrow and the brt only remembers they have a lane only during rush hour and hold ups. So it's a fun place to take a stroll, jog and exercise. Who did I offend that I'll start running up and down.... only a fool runneth when no man pursureth, hahahah . I just plug my ears and walk. So on one of those evenings, I was with this other family dog that's a very timid. And one fellow with a skating shoe was cruising past. I have never seen my dog so agitated. I almost dropped the chain and run away like a fool, lol. Maybe the dog thought it was a ghost cos he wasn't in motion like how other two legged folks move.
Just joking o, exercise is good for you. Lol
I would prefer the Electric bike, prices starts from €450, for good one. Just when you're tired of pedaling having gotten the needed daily torture your legs needs. You can surrender to the power of Electricity while you thank Faraday for brainstorming about harnessing the power of Lightening. Also when you get to the hills, you'll simply zoom. No one needs to tell you how miserable you'll be when battery of the scooter runs out. The tires of a bike is bigger, and wherever the wheels of a bike goes, you know with confidence that it's yours.

The price has actually reduced tho..it was 599 before... lol @Abraham Lincoln

yeah, you actually got point tho..it's just that i thought I've ride bicycle to the extent that I think I have to try something New..plus you can actually carry your scooter along when going to a very far place (example) when you went to GALWAY

NEXT___Mackynaija's thread

I really appreciate your effort, Failure is not an option for you...

Is like I will reread again self

Chiggsglover:
You'll skate tire. Electric scooter is common here.

it's about 600€ to get one... it's damn expensive

Chiggsglover:
I was on my way to work two days ago and I saw that, it was really fresh, seems they did it that morning because the amount of wind here would have picked off all the evidence. I could still get the distinct smell of Tar.

This patch of road that was just adjusted is very common in Dublin. You'll recognize them by how they have a square or rectangular shape and a slightly different colour. It takes a really long time for it to match up with the other part of the road.
When a pothole begin to form, concerned citizens will inform the dublin city council. These are the first government body we can interact with, they will go through the red tapism and sort the pothole, no matter the shape n size of the hole and damage, it must fit in a square or rectangle. Then they'll destroy and build the patch anew.

Why do we have to wait for things to get worse before we take action?
When various potholes of various sizes and strength begin to emerge, we take no action and wait for it to get worse so we can cry to the government. The government themselves have eyes, don't they drive on road or do they have wings? Seems they actually get lots of thrills by dodging these potholes like bullets. The way the car throws the local government official as their driver swings around like the Mr. Anderson in The matrix.

I'm also kinda thinking, if you take a picture of a pothole and visit the local government office and demand that they fix this portion of the new road that is going bad at an increasing rate. They will look at themselves in awe and burst into laughter. They will tell you that the road has to go bad before they can fix it, and that if there's no road to fix, what will they use and enter second term.

The reality is that potholes are bound to happen. Whether we like it or not. We must do something about it. If you ignore them, they begin to expand and spread. The first thing is to ensure that the pothole is socially distant, with some little road signs. The next step is to access the damage and before the repair is done. You'll end up fixing a patch which may cost not too much. If it's left to its own, you end up with a Big time Road Project

can't wait to skate on this kind or Road���✌

Chiggsglover:
...in the picture below, that part of the road was patched after It wanted to spread like wild fire. The irish government Said No.

I never knew Dublin got streets like this.. all I get to see is only the city center... please can u show us more ? ✌

Chiggsglover:
I am rushing one assignment, just came back from work. I promise to update you all tomorrow.

Patiently waiting for your update, knack us PICTURES join o

Chiggsglover:

Yes oooo.
Thank u
Back to Dublin!

The countryside has its charms.

is DUBLIN the best place in IRELAND? , what are the difference you noticed... PICTURES are always welcome chiggsglover don't forget that...

You're doing a great work Nigga

Chiggsglover:
It will shock you all about the visual effects of these two shots.
I took them at night within a minute.
It will appear as tho I took the first one during the day and came back to take the second one.
Phones have really advanced so fast that the older generation can't keep up easily. It's bored kids who are on the hunt for new experience that are able to sit and with lots of trial and error master the smartphones. Then they teach their parents. Lol. Yes we teach our parents.
When my dad got his first car. We were all excited. My dad saw it as a medium to move from point a to point b. I saw it as a mystery that needed to be unlocked.
We had an isolated place where it was parked. Everyday after I get home from school.
I would grab the keys and rush to the car. Pressing every button, trying to see what they do.
My dad even upto now doesn't take the car to work. His friend takes him. He doesn't like to drive in the rush hour to VI. He prefers to relax, sleep and chat away. I think I got the trait from him.
He only drives for leisure. Taking the family to church on Sunday.
Then he takes me to work on Saturdays as I'm the only son, for just a few hours when he has some spill overs. The road is always free. I grab my laptop to download games and movies of up 75gig with the wifi. Lol.
So basically the car is mine during the weekdays, I'll fiddle and press press. I mastered the electronics that I became his first mate. He always prefer me in the front passenger sit then.
My mum had to sit at the back and envy me then till my dad mastered the controls. Women and front passenger sit eh.
Parents know how to use resources and time out to keep us in check.
Why can't we use our technical know how in showing them how to operate phones to let them do our bidding. Yes we can.
Phones can seriously frustrate them, they'll be loyal then and ask for our help. We can then smile and make our request known, haha.
But it's not happening because of experience.
Our parents are super smart. This is why an an uneducated man can hire both the learned and educated to do biddings.
I heard sometime that dangote hired PhD holders to drive his truck.

From the pictures, I took the first one with the flash on, the second one was taken without the flash on but with the aid of the streetlights. After I saw it some days later, I thought I went back in the morning to snap it again until I checked the date.

In this country, they warn about things like this. After mopping the floor in a place where people pass like in an eatery or bank hall. They always put a sign. I'll snap one I have in my kitchen so you'll see what I mean. If one slips especially the elderly and fall and break his bones, that establishment will be sued.
Paint hazards can happen too. Getting the stains off my clothes will be a huge hassle. So we see warnings like.

I'd like to know if we have such in Nigeria.


Put that in the comment section.

Because when I was there jan, I no see o.
These are the things that bring our life expectancy low.
A 1000 ways to die.....:-)
Our leaders will come here see this things and commot eye.

Thanks for the update.... ya doing a great work.. so you're back to DUBLIN

Chiggsglover:



I can enjoy pizza here for €1, all i got to do is go to the frozen section, buy it and microwave. While I can easily spend €14 for the same size of pizza delivered to my house, only that its fresher, and might be a bit hot.
Not a fan of pizza
Cake is cheap here.

Label food, lol

God dammit... I like food die.. PIZZA FAN here.. I'd easily get fat in two months
i still doubt €1 for a full PIZZA it's really too cheap, I've seen the one of €4

As for the breakfast... The Irish potato and steak is what attract me most I hate onions.. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to eat that in public cuz I go select those things wey I no like out.. and as for the Italian food.. Don't tell me you eat those Leafs... lol.. I'd only eat the Cheese and nothing more..

Thanks a lot for showing us this... God bless your good work..

And how are your New irish friends treating you.. Compared to Nigerians, Hope you haven't by any chance encountered Racism.. Still expecting pictures of the City tho..

Chiggsglover:
Let me update you all,
I visited Galway, after hearing how Edsheeran sang about the city. He kept repeating Galway girls, I decided to take a little break off and see for myself. I'm not exactly in the Galway city. I'm currently at the county. The county is the area surrounding the city, Dublin has lots of counties, same as Galway.
My friend lives in Loughrea(pronounced as Lockrea)

Small town, big churches, great school, one huge supermarket(Aldi), The Aldi is super cheap, if it was in Nigeria, market women will be put out of business.
We only have Spar in Nigeria, even here, spar is ridiculously expensive. One good thing they're not out of business is cos theyre smaller and scattered all over. It might be easier to get to them for emergency items incase lidl or Aldi was far. Another reason is that they host the An post, the An post which is the local country's federal post office have a partnership to host them so people can post items, send money around, and receive items. When I used to collect government money. I go there to get it in cash.

The spar just give the An post a portion in one corner of the space the size of a Danfo. Yeah really!!!!
And also they always have a ATM, very functional and utilitarian in perspective.

For an Economist like me, I never buy a thing there, I did in my first day in Ireland. Was hungry after the flight and wanted to sleep by 6am, it was getting dark o, my circadian rhythm kicked in, I just walked 5min there and bought a meal, serve your self style. They charged per kilo I guess, theyll weigh it and that's your bill. I posted it the beginning of the thread.

I'm having great food here, my host is irish and a great cook. I had my first Irish breakfast here, I insist on small portions.
It helps to keep my tummy flat and in great shape.
I also avoid beer, I only drink whiskey and Rum.

I Checked my weight here in the bathroom, i weighed 85kg. I was shocked. I used to be in 70kg.

I will have a full Irish breakfast tomorrow and will post it.
The typical irish breakfast consists of bacon, sausage, egg, white n black pudding, steak, buttered bread, one fried tomato (whole), gosh. There was no pepper, no salt, and I love it.

If I wanted to eat that in a restaurant, theyll charge me at least €10. While it cost my host, €1.50 to make my portion.
It was great I came here, I'm having a go at various food I will have to travel around to taste, for free!!!!!!!!.

The way you describe the breakfast makes me hungry, like seriously how come do your host compress €10 to €1.50 for real...
Bacon,sausage(hotdog),egg,(i dont know black pudding),steak,buttered bread,fried tomato just for breakfast Mannnn I Cant wait to be in IRELAND(As for usa, gun violence and constant racism they make me fear that place lol )

please share of pictures of Galway and also the breakfast and do not forget to label

thanks for making us see IRELAND through you

chiggsglover pictures oo

FrankNetter:
Lol. You can come here and throw tantrums all you want, the truth is nigeria is nowhere near being developed. If I was faced with this decision to come over to the USA 10 times, I'd pick here 11 times. Me, I go dey post my experiences as I dey see am, your opinions do not matter one bit, the least you can do is ignore the thread, no one forced you to click on the thread title and read through.

open your thread and defend how glorious nigeria is, you will not see me on the thread bashing your posts. That being said, say hello to the newest employee of Burger King

i kept reading this again and again.You too savage abeg..you don't give a damn. I must reach page 214

Chiggsglover:

Alright, here's one

I couldn't help but notice that one of them bears a striking resemblance to Rema.

The dude really looks like Rema/Mr eazi

Chiggsglover:

My friend, do you know how I've fantasized about being in a car chase in Nigeria. I can try it but holdup won't let me enjoy it. I personally decided not to get a driver's license, though They didn't Caught me . I dont drive around frequently. Even if the police end up catching up to me. Plan B, we know what that is.


This place we have free roads, just like GTA, but there's no way I'll going Scot free, they have proper systems in place for that.

lol..dude, do you like skating you can easily get a roller blades or those small electric vehicles.. if you like gaming you can also play the game I was talking about.. check YouTube and watch some people playing it... you'd fall in love with the game since you love driving

Chiggsglover:


Thanks man, Ooin.

Well I have been, really really busy.

I started to work with my care agency just last week Friday, my schedule has been disrupted, still have to a balance between work and fun.

I am a fellow who thrives on a regulated schedule because TWENTY FOUR HOURS isnt enough for me even after my NYSC when I had no job, I would always groan about how fast time flies.

Fixed schedule is good to save time, and also fixed meals, fixed wardrobe, thinking about what to wear can be very burdensome. I'm gonna take some time to adjust my dress code and wardrobe about what to wear so I'll always look great with little stress. If you dont take that into consideration, one can wear the wrong colors.

It's going to be a while to get a balance tho. My day starts from 6am, sleep runs away from me, i just put on my favorite show, Culture Express at 6:30. so next thing is to Eat. I go for the breakfast I learnt from Abigails hostel at Aston quay when I first came to this country.
Consisting of toasted break with boiled egg or sardines with plus Mayonnaise, push it down with any juice, orange, or apple or milk. And have a solid like oat or wheat. this can keep me full for a whole day till lunchtime from 3pm to 6pm. Lunch can be anything, this is the only point i think about what to eat, as I have time to plan it.

In this country, Food is very expensive. You can easily spend €30 per meal. So its very common to take food to.your office and microwave. Even the whites do. They take their coolers of food, something my classmates shamed me for when I was in JSS1. How can I be the only one that takes cooler to school. I had to dance to the music then. I'm old now, no one can shame me.
I don't give a damn about people opinions.

Whenever I go to get groceries, I wear my Crocs and walk confidently. Blacks here always put on Sneakers, I cannot kill myself. It's not like I'll be given cash or special attention when I wear sneakers, I cant spend €80 on a shoe and be wearing it up and down. Plus the discomfort

If you go with €5 in any Eatery in Nigeria. you can easily eat to your fill in a good eatery, not Mamaput. Plus the food may not be to your taste since its basically foreign.
When I was working in the warehouse, the cafeteria was very cheap to eat in. I didnt bother to go with my food because I could spend €3 and eat well, €6 for the extras to pamper your palate.

This my new job has really opened my eyes, I'm still shocked about somethings. I won't update you yet till I gather my thoughts. Second day in my job, that was yesterday, one of my clients died, he has been deteriorating within the weak and couldnt sleep. that's the ghastly horror about this job.
He was weak and had lots of spasms. When he did regained himself. He smiled at me with his wrinkled face. In the midst of all the pain, his eyes still had a spark.

Congratulations on your new job

so sad about the client, May God you help you.... waiting for The update you mentioned.. can't wait... And don't forget to post Pictures

Chiggsglover:

If you do GTA driving here, the Guardians of peace will be unleashed upon you (An Gardai siochona) . Hahaha

lol.. Guardians of peace.. what I mentioned wasn't a Real car tho.. it's a video game with real steering wheel,shifter and pedals
