Imagine if the robots go rogue and declare ware on France? 😂...

dominique:
If those buses pass through road worthiness tests, at least 90% will fail woefully. Majority of those buses are owned by high ranking lastma and VIO officials or their friends that help them bypass the process. The privileges they enjoy on the roads, we the private motorists can only dream of.

What do you mean by 90% of them will fail?

I was expecting you to say 99.99% abi no be these rubbish I deh see for lagos roads everyday?

Monthly rent in a country that does not pay hourly wages?

This will hurt Lagosians more.

We blindly copy other nations but shy away from putting down the amenities they have on ground.

If monthly rent is introduced in Lagos then tenants are in soup because Lagos tenancy laws mandates a 6months quit notice for yearly tenants and 7days eviction notice for monthly tenants now imagine you being a monthly tenant in a highly congested state like Lagos?

If given a 7days quit notice where can you quickly find another apartment within 7days?

In abroad, houses are much so you can move from one house to another within two days but in Lagos, 6months you are still looking for a place to rent

Secondly, Lagosians don't earn hourly wages.while many are unemployed, too many Lagosians are underemployed and with Lagos overpriced rents, exorbitant electricity bills, crazy transportation costs, high school fees for children many parents will struggle to meet up that monthly rent payment.

Imagine earning N200,000 monthly with 2 kids, with a monthly rent of 50,000, every month you struggle with rent, bills, feeding etc.

The yearly rents allow People to find time to breathe. Sometimes the rent isn't even ready until the 7th month, the. One or two side hustles helps you to gather the rent and you pay for one year..

Not to forget how cunning Nigerians are. If landlords see that the monthly rents isn't feeding them fine they will just keep increasing the rents until before you know, your monthly rent becomes almost the same as what you used to pay as yearly rent and Nigeria being a lawless state, govt will just remain nonchalant until civil unrest began


If only Lagos state will make housing easily available and introduce hourly wages then these bill makes sense otherwise Lagosians will cry blood

Being in someone's shoes until they experience it

WoundedLamb:
Where in the UK? You're probably referring to England or Ireland. I'll give my personal opinion.

UK Pros:
1) I prefer the UK weather
2) I get more value for my money in the UK malls
3) The UK has more architectural beauty
4) There are more Nigerians in the UK
5) You get more vacation time in the UK
6) The UK is more central and nearer to other countries including Nigeria
7) The currency is higher in the UK
8 ) You don't have to worry about drastic changes in policies and laws when you move from one city to another (except you're moving countries)
9) The English language is enough to take you everywhere in England and Ireland
11) Arguably, the UK has more jobs
12) The UK has a richer culture/history
13) There's a better sense of community in the UK
14) The UK has one standard timezone, so you don't have to worry about time difference while traveling across the country.
15) I'd go to the UK if I'm into administration/management/business.

UK Cons:
1) The UK is tiny compared to Canada. This includes the roads, the houses, etc. Everything just looks small to you the moment you move from Canada to the UK.
2) The UK is more traditional/formal. Things like the school you finished from, the social class of your parents, etc. matter more in the UK. In fact, I find the classism really disturbing.
3) There's more racism and homophobia in the UK. These guys don't fail to let you know you don't belong.
4) The people (especially in London) don't go out of thier to be friendly like you would expect in Canada (not like they're mean though)
5) The landscape here is generally boring
6) There's higher crime rate here

Canada Pros:
1) Salaries are higher in Canada
2) Canada has more natural beauty
3) Transition to citizenship is easier in Canada
4) Canada gives you access to the US economy (you can easily work for US firms as a Canadian PR and you can drive across the border to buy things at cheaper rate if you have your visa)
5) Nature! As the second largest country in the world, Canada has vast open space (the whole of the UK is not up to the size of Ontario, a province in Canada). Outdoor activities and nature appreciation are an integral part of the Canadian lifestyle.
6) People generally more friendly, welcoming and polite in Canada. Immigrants easily feel at home in the country.
7) Canada is less traditional and more progressive.
8 ) It is bilingual. The French culture is strong in Canada. You might end up learning French depending on where you live. Otherwise, you'd surely explore the rich culture.
9) Racism and homophobia are very much lower in Canada
10) Tax is a bit lower in Canada
11) Quality of life is higher in Canada
12) The healthcare system is better structured in Canada (don't be fooled, it comes at a cost).
13) Canada is a hybrid country. You get the typical American lifestyle in places like Toronto (tall class buildings, condos, long tarred roads, etc) and the typical European lifestyle in places like Québec City (Chateaux, gothic architecture, European culinary styles, etc.)
14) Workplace experience is better in Canada (far less beaucratic)
15) Crime rate is less in Canada
16) I'd go to Canada if I'm into Tech/Data science.

Canada Cons:
1) Canada is literally frozen in winter
2) Canada is arguably more expensive
3) The cities are more futuristic and not as beautiful as the classical ones in the UK
4) If not for immigration, Canada, just like the US, generally doesn't really have a very rich culture
5) Population is very low and the country is more laid back (less crime, less fun)
6) If you move from a big city like Lagos, you'd likely get bored in many Canadian cities
7) Due to the size, the country spans across multiple timezones and could be many hours behind Nigeria.

Summary:
It's really about your lifestyle and what works for you. In terms of day to day living, the two countries have a lot in common and they're really great. Canadians are basically English and French people in North America. The cities are named after European cities. Both countries have the same Queen. Both countries are extremely diverse, though Toronto is touted to be the most diverse city in the world. Personally, I find Canada a better place to live and the UK a better place for vacation. You generally have less to worry about in Canada but that means you also have more interesting things to do in the UK.

See how you took your time to explain and 3years after I am here reading and learning.

God bless you and hope you are fine and doing well wherever you are?

What do you think your president goes to France everyday to do? Definitely to supply him

If you have a deaf friend you'd know that these guys are not deaf but just making content.

Believe a station own by TVC at your own peril.

I can tell these are real humans not AI.

They are just seeking for cheap attention

Inshame3:
I have close all my account,I can't pack anything again
The shame is too much

This you? Make I hear

Addiction is more powerful than someone possessed by demons.

Atleast the later can be cast out but see addiction, you need serious therapy

No worry, na Ajor U dey do with sporty.

One day e go reach your turn to pack.

Never give up

Typical of western propaganda to turn Africans against themselve


Don't fall for it. They did same to Ghaddafi and Idi Amin

Tinubu supporters (let me not say Yorubas) continue to disgrace themselves

During campaigns, man told you all to go and verify and prove him wrong he will stop campaigning.

You'll were shitting on your pants, scared of the sunami but after rigging your way to power through violence, you open mouth to talk against same man that gave you a blank cheque to prove him wrong.

How pathetic

ceeceeco:
Mine is Euthymol. Not here.

Euthymol is extremely harsh.

Used to use it and my gum was burning off. I had to stop.


It keeps the mouth fresh though

Jestin:
I remembered the first time I brought Colgate from UK to a friend in Nigeria. He was busy arguing close up is the best until the girlfriend told him close up doesn’t hold his breath for long and his mouth smells after few hours of brushing . That is how baba embrace Colgate till date . Close up just foaming like OMO for nothing so Colgate is the best

Do people still use close up in this country?

That shit is rubbish

I lost my course mate in that explosion. So sad

As an igbo, I will vote for Makinde anytime any day.

The only candidate better than Makinde right now is Obi

This baby factory issue is not ending soon no matter how they try, as people keep looking for children and don't want to go the normal way 9f adoption.

It can't end so long as fake prophet's and prophecies are still thriving.

Why do you think igbos are the ones mostly in the business? It's because Igbos love fake prophets and eze Nwanyi alot

I use it to safely keep any small item I don't want to lose.

For example, flash drives, small keys, etc.

That's the best place to keep them so they don't fall off while bringing out your phone from the pocket

Bread is poisonous for the body especially for hypertensive people

Akara and fried eggs are even worse because of high cholesterol content and the seller's tendencies of using left over or bad oil


I will take none

When I started dating my current fiancée there is this prayer I always prayed

I said God abeg let me loved and lust after this girl. I want to be attracted to everything, her boobs, her ass, her face, her laughter, her dressing everything.

Lol, it sounds funny making such immoral wishes but I actually did wish for that.

Fast forward down the line, everything about this relationship has been great. No quarrels, no fighting, great sex.

I don't even know what another lady's thighs look like talk more of cheating. Another girl is not attracted to me. Every other lady is seen as regular lady, only my fiancee is the real deal.

When you see a good woman in this our generation, there are certain fantasies that will naturally die off and you only want to be with her and keep her.

Daddyk87:
Well paid job yet you resigned ?
Well it's your life, do what you believe is good for you.
For me japa is not for me.
I won't be a second class citizen to anywhere.
You smile to a woman , they charge you for sexual or women harassment.
A grown up lady looking like 35 years old chatting you for a datie, police will arrest you for minor because she is under 17. She might lie to you of her age most times

My brother I don't understand what is wrong with some People.

Japa is for those struggling not someone that is trying for himself.

If you have a nice paying job and doing fine, any reason to Japa is when you are going as a skilled labour not to go and hustle ..

I see guys above 35yrs selling off everything to go and do cleaning jobs abroad. They look at the money in naira but forgot that they are not going to spend naira in UK. Someone earning £1,600 per month in the UK will have more than 50% of that money taken by the system .

A friend sold his car, his house and quit his job to Japa now he tells me he does menial jobs to get £50 a day and he is happy.

I am like £50 is roughly about N100,000 in naira but he used to get far more than that here in Nigeria on a daily so why did he sell everything to go labour for 100k when he was getting about 200k from his office In a Day

A big heart outside while millions are dying in Nigeria cos of govt negligence.

Thunder

Don't generalize.

I have been with one beautiful lady for 10yrs without seeing pant of another lady.

Sometimes I ask myself how guys do it?

I am even the one running from sex yet I wonder how guys touch their wives and still have cum left to pull on other women. My own sef after round 1, round 2 may take forever to cum and by then I am exhausted and praying she doesn't request for it again until a week's time

Stupid statement.

Check igbo dominated axis theb check Yoruba dominated axis in Lagos and tell me The people that are messing up lagos

This is how the media discredit Ronaldo.

I saw the video, it was during warm up to a match, Ronaldo walked up to the fan and said you don't look like me, you are ugly. They were both laughing at it, he came back and gave the fan a thumbs up while both of them were still laughing at the joke but the media has turned it upside down

This is one reason why I am never interested in japa


I am not rich but I am not hungry. I do not want a life of work work work every hour. I am big on family and spending quality time with my kids and wife. I do not what to goto a society where work will deprive me off my family because I need to pay for everything I use. Nigeria is bad but we are not hungry. Atleast I can still provide for my house and pay our bills. What is missing is luxury but the necessities are there. I am working really hard to get the luxuries but I am grateful for having the basics first.

I have seen friends travel abroad for greener pastures leaving their families behind. The closest one often cry in my DM everyday despite being gone for 3yrs now. It's a regret but he cannot come back empty handed because he sold almost everything.

The other friend after 5years in UK came back. Looking darker than he was and loss weight. He told me, he had to run back because the stress was too much. He was doing fine in Nigeria but decided to join the japa wave, going to do menial jobs, working in warehouses, taking care of old people etc when in Nigeria he was a big man with several workers. Thank God he didn't shut down his office, he had something to fall back to and decided to swallow pride and return home.

Themandator:
That seems like a waste ...of both time and resources

The bible is not a one off thing ...I read it every day and won't be going to WhatsApp or gemini or deepsek and the rest to get a particular book of the bible

That's your problem not mine

Why do I need bible App when AI on WhatsApp can give me scriptures in all translations and even interpret them for me in a giffy?

Christians need to stop fighting science an embrace it. To think that many are still kicking against e-scripture and still sticking to the archaic paper based is appalling

He is a stupid human being.

Just report him to any human rights organisation close to you, he will cough out the money because he wouldn't want his business partners to know the kind of person that he is.

Saga16:
The cost of what US has given is in the form of Stocks and NOT money.

Trump can fuq off.

You are not being truthful.

Also are you aware that Starlink is what enables Ukraine to fly it's drones and attack Russia?

Trump just ordered Starlink to be turned off in Ukraine which is another disaster

Saga16:
Europe has already rallied round Ukraine.

Trump can fuk off.

Since the beginning of the war US has given over $61bn in aid to Ukraine while Europe plus UK put together have donated $55bn in aid.

Europe put together cannot defend itself against Russia without America, how much more Ukraine.

Should Trump really Bleep off?
