₦airaland Forum

I disagree , personally someone like me will be looking up to travel to uk , USA, Canada and Europe to hustle than to leave southwest . The reason is , virtually everything i can get or do in southeast is here in west , it doesn’t make sense to me leaving Ibadan or lagos and go to Enugu or Ebonyi or owerri to start business when the chances of success is high here.

Infact I have friends here on nairaland from southeast ( enugu , Anambra and Ebonyi precisely) that asked if I can accommodate them in Lagos or Ibadan I had to tell them that things are tight everywhere that they should rather gather money and travel out. Some of them think it’s just so easy down here and YES THEY ARE HERE ON NAIRALAND.
I can’t blame them, afterall I think same of my friends oversea too.

Besides people won’t be migrating down here if they can do same thing successfully in their regions.

yorubas wont be moving abroad if Nigeria is better.
This is just common sense and doesn’t call for argument.
I rarely hear anyone here in SW say they’re going to southeast , most will rather prefer to go to port harcourt, Abuja and edo/delta .


Most outsiders in southeast are people that stay back after NYSC or people that are transferred in government job.

Except I’m on specific assignment, or to marry wife , it’s impossible to just wake up in Ibadan or lagos and start going to southeast to start life .travel to do what exactly business? Service? Except I’m an artisan given a contract job over there , it just doesn’t make sense atall.







Finally , you need to know that Igbo are better traders while yorubas strive better in heavy industries like Education
Insurance
IT
Logistics
Construction
Telecommunications
Banking
Manufacturing
Fintech
Consulting
Legal
Forestry/logging
Oil and Gas
Healthcare
Transport.
Give an average igbo guy/trader 1m, in six month he’ll give u 5m but an average yoruba guy will collect 1m and spend it lavishly . He’ll be waiting to start business with 10m .


That being said, all states in Nigeria are shîthole, just that some offer slightly better opportunities and security than others.

Fuckyoumod:
it's because of your likes that Nigeria is in a total mess today.

You play and laugh over everything.
You can't even navigate the source of your problems in this country.

Did you know that the CBN Gov. Is just a tool (house boy) in the hands of the President of Nigeria?

Did you know that he consults the president and takes directives from the President before carrying out any form of policy implementation?

If at your age, you can't understand that Buhari is calling the shots and deciding what happens in this country then you need a brain upgrade.

In 1983 Buhari came up with this naira swap policy was Emefule the CBN Gov then.

See, you must all understand that the problem is Buhari.
If you blame the CBN Gov and exonerate Buhari then you are just a Fool with no brain

Thank your star I woke up on the right side of the bed today, if not I Fõr tell you wetin u go like hear today .





Since we’ve been taking everything so serious , what have we achieved with our collective ‘seriousness’?
In your head, you think if I lost such amount of money, nairaland is the go to place to rant?.

My brother, one yoruba adage says, when a problem is more than what crying can solve , laughing might solve it.



And yes no sensible person will exonerate Buhari whom we voted for and put all the blames on cbn governor who was appointed and only working on directives of FG.

On another side, cashless policy is good but I really don’t think Nigerians are ready for it besides government should have put measures in place to cushion the effect of the policy on us. It’s strange to us , they can’t expect us to adapt so easily .

Effect of yoruba ‘wokeness’

All I have to say is Fear women .

Imagine that smalle swallowing that tall gbola and she go comot eyes like say nothing happen .chai.

My brother, again fear women

Your brother is not a simp,
He’s wicked and a fôol with certificate

Please help us collate the final figure abeg

If you don’t personally know the seller, my brotherly advice to you is to keep on saving and buy tokunbo.
The truth is when people ask questions like this , it means they can’t comfortably afford it yet . Cars no be wetin perspn dey use him last card buy if you’re not using it for business .

Emma1Oj:
you won't have strength to type this if truely loose 6oo milla

You know how much Dey my acct
I’ve lost over 60b in the past one year

You try . I like your saving culture, I hope you can maintain whatever car you’re buying .

I for say make you keep savings and get muscle camry atleast , but e be like u can’t wait any longer , u don try , start somewhere first .

Get the Camry

I no even get shoes.
Na palm and sandal I get e be like me and you no fit be friend cos I hate people that wear shoe , I feel that they take life too serious

oliverano:

Chikacha:
You have missed it. The universe does not control you or your destiny. You and God control you and destiny. This is why I am speechless whenever I see a person who does not believe in anything.....

Every single thing we need to succeed in life was provided for us to take and use to all and any capacity. Based on our needs, wants, and beliefs. Nobody deserves anything better than anyone. For instance, when you stop seeing 1 million dollars as a huge sum of money, work hard and look for 100 million dollars, you have become a crazy man to an ordinary man. However, you have unlocked your greatest potential. If you only think of 500k Naira, you will only unlock enough potential for it. Then one day, you will meet a classmate who now owns two homes in Banana Island, and "hmmm," you realize you can own a house there too.


Think big,
Sleep,
Dream big.
WAKE UP!
pray
Work hard
Help others
play

repeat

honestly speaking you’re right . It’s just that the kind of family one comes from, the calibre of friends and kind of environments determine and shape one’s mindset to a great extent .

Though life is not a competition but if one puts mind my brother, one can achieve almost anything.



What to do is , if one targets to own up to 20m by year end, divide the 20m by number of days, him don know say him daily target is 55k atleast.
one will not be waiting to hit it big once only. You might or might hit it, but trust me you’ll be closer.

But for crypto na to make am once be my dream abeg 😅😅

GeneralPula:
Sanwo Olu is a performing Governor. I don’t think any Governor has done better more than Sanwo, yet these Pandora rodents are still hating on him..

Well, their body go come down on Saturday because Sanwo go win!

just go under cubana comments and watch how they’ll attack that post

Listen attentively to what I have to say sha
1. No matter how young you are, you own your life and whatever decision you take, be ready to bear the consequences
2. There is no big difference in living alone and living with your parent if you’ve been responsible. I believe you must have had experience on how to pay bills while living them, I want to assume it’s part of the reasons why you were able to save just 2m out of 750k monthly income for 6 month that’s if you’re not being unnecessarily extravagant.
3. Since you have steady flow of income, going by your current income savings, it means it’ll take you atleast another 6 months to recover that 2m
4. Freedom is very important, and I can see you’ve made up your mind, trust me , you won’t regret it if you are focus and determined. It’s just money bro, you can always make it back .

Rent a house you know you’ll be able to comfortably renew the following year ( you can lock your money in piggy vest for house rent renew till next year rent house of 350k, lock 350k and funish house with 1.3m) . This is make you feel relaxed and comfy since you know next rent is secure in case something ‘ sup’
5. Furnish your house to your taste, yes I said , furnish it to your tastes and buy lots of food stuff.
Avoid too much friends and girls , I know they will come , but you need to find a balance .
6. Start savings your income immediately after u pack in to your new abode, cut down unnecessary expenses and save 60% of your monthly income no matter what .
7. After a year , buy a land in a “good” location with it. Still continue savings .



I can’t advice you to do business cos it’s not easy to combine schooling with business .







However , if I were you , I’ll invest the 2m on landed property first, because this Nigeria where any source of income can be blocked anytime no matter how profitable it is. Any money afterwards can be spent on myself anyhow .

Can’t judge you , but if the situation at home is manageable, I’ll advice you stay back and build your finance.
Before I forget , please and please if you’re not industrious and don’t know how to run business or multiply your income, pls do not rush to build house first o. No be house u go chop o, instead invest more on landed properties, keep buying land at strategic locations. Before you graduate , you’ll have worth millions and you’ll be able to afford your kind of house in your kind of neighborhood. Know the right channel to take in buying land sha .

I repeat , don’t start building house now, if you must, it must be rented property first .


Finally please take care of your parents no matter how they act towards you , you will never regret doing that.

I know you’re scared but God will be with you . Take a step, don’t just leave the money in your acct.

It's ipob finding solace in LP. Thank God you are awake.

Those in SE who first embrace the movement can no longer freely leave their houses on Mondays.

Say no to terrorism. Reject LP

Honestly speaking at first , I felt the intention was pure, moving forward , it’s infiltrated by fools and bigots

Na your Yoruba people beg pass especially online .

you’re an îdïot with certificate. Arindin omo ale jatijati.

aswani:
Bros,

You have done nothing wrong, it is what you believed in then and your behaviour was how it should have been.

Don't let anything pain you abeg, none of your efforts were wasted.

We need more principled people like you in this nation. People that believe in something and throw themselves into it. If they feel it is wrong, they simply step aside.

thank you very much may God bless you but I feel we should be more tolerant and understanding. Life doesn’t revolve around (me or you ) only

2tpick:
Stop swearing bro, it doesnt make people trust you. You dont need to swear if you are saying the truth

I’m not swearing to make people believe as that is not going to put food on my table and money to my pocket. The swear is the only way I could showcase my emotions in that context .
Neither obi nor tinubu gives a fhuck about me in the grand scheme of thing.

Akanipaul1411:
My brother, is it about supporters or about the person of Peter Obi? Trust me, Peter is not in support of that. Check very well the calm man he sent to represent we the national collation centre. Obidients all over the country pulled weight and did amazingly well and let's also be carful not judge the innocent man with peoples individual differences. I'm happy you understand that most behaviours are products of the BUHARI hardship. You can vote any candidate of your choice but all I advise you is to vote character, competence and credibility. Even Obi keeps saying it everywhere he goes, "don't vote me because I'm Igbo or a Christian"
As for any agenda different from uniting Nigeria, balancing our economy, engaging the youths meaningfully, making NIGERIA a producing country, count Obi off. Let me also inform you that it was when APC thought of good records to use for campaign but couldn't, they resorted to bigotry. Watch the campaign speeches of the candidates and you will believe with me that they had no option than to resort to bigotry. I'm of Yoruba origin but was born and bred in the East. Femi Fani Kayode's posts is evidence that he and his team brought that divisive campaign strategy. Remember, we are fighting for a better country, fighting our oppressors and not ourselves. God will certainly reward for standing for a man who is for good

If all obidients think like you , only a fool will criticize you.
I fully understand all you said, i simply supported Peter obi just because he’s younger, vibrant , from different party entirely , align with his personality and I feel that since every region has done it before , it’ll be fair for SE to do it too .

He’s not a saint to me just like every other politician but to some reasonable extent, I managed to be convinced about it.


What is painful to me is the toxicity of obidients bro, you deeply understand what I meant, I AM IN NO PARTICULAR WAY saying Peter obi is not a good man.
If I’m to vote again , tomorrow without this obidient thingy , I will vote for him I swear to almighty God.
Please do not justify toxicity by any means, Buhari all happened to us. Infact if I should tell you what I lost just because of some policies under this country, you’ll pity me.

And to some extent, your supporters tell more about you.

OdogwuMoney6:
Bro I want to ask you something..... If you had an investment or business that brings you 46%+ ROI every month, equivalent to 900%+ every 6 months, would you prefer it to crypto trading?

my brother even if your biz brings 200% monthly you should know that human beings are insatiable when it comes to making money .
