and we could have made our nation into such a wonderful place where tourists would be dying to visit, but it's best we separate peacefully at this point.

Men, imagine a Nigeria with good weather (relatively speaking) all year round, with almost every inch of road paved, with no open gutters, no corrupt police, a 911 number that worked, Law and Order on the streets...

Then add the African culture (secret sauce) on top of all of that and you would have had a BANGER

I feel like crying sometimes, then you see awon Henlinues reveling in the ashes of what could have been, sigh

Can you explain more about what you call "the benefits of death and a happy life after"? I lost a loved one some weeks ago and the pain is almost unbearable. I keep wondering if she is fine, if she is scared, if she is in pain, if we failed her, etc. So, I really want to hear about these benefits you are talking about

Monben:
Can
First are u a Muslim or a Christian, d answer will help me to answer your questions, personally I have met 3 people that died and later woke up, one was my friend when I was in university, I am not here for arguments, weather it is true or not, my friend was shocked by electricity, pronounced dead by a medical doctor, he told me what happened afterwards, he said 5 minutes after he died ,I don't know if it is right to narrate his experience here, some people that doesn't believe may feel offended

Hi,

I don't know if it's just me, but the AC in my Honda Accord 2013 doesn't chill as much as I hoped it will.

It's quite OK when the weather is cool like early in the day or late at night, but in the afternoon, you barely feel its coolness.

Any idea what could be responsible? I'd already topped the gas, and yet, it's the same.

Also, the recirculation button doesn't work. I was told I needed to change the control panel, but when we tried some other replacements, it still didn't work

Generally premium emulsion is the cheapest paint that is durable. The budget grades are meant to be applied more frequently, especially in places that is exposed to weather.
Some companies make budget paints and have the market. Some brands deal on premium grades only and that is the reason some brands are like twice or thrice the price of some brands.
If you care about budget friendly and aesthetics, you may use matte emulsion for flatness, low sheen and cleanable.
If you care about durability only, you may use premium emulsion.
If budget is not in consideration bearing in mind screeding is usually done in preparation for using high sheen paint, then satin can be used for internal and matte for external.
For unscreeded wall, premium emulsion is ideal for durability.

So why doesn't the US where houses are annually flooded due to torrential rains and severe weather events with some houses even carried away,resort to demolition of the flooded houses as the only solution?
Houses flooded,solution is demolition of such houses;thunder strikes or rains,not even heavy rains falls,solution is to immediately cut off power supply in Nigeria!

See ya life.

The most desperate people today in Nigeria based on rate of criminality are your people.

Even when in better economic settings like SA ,Una just can't help delving into crime.

As the economic reforms bite, so is it biting you idiots more because nah Una dey cry pass everyone .

So just sharap on your silly lies that you are immune to the economic downturn because we have read of cases of a mother selling her children to feed, a father killing his own son because of squabble over leftover food and we have seen a spike in baby factories and drug pushers from your side.

You are desperate and no better if not in a more bad position.

helinues:


You are the one sounding confusing.

Did you ask this same question of seeing when the FX reserves was declining? If No why asking the question now.

Even weather no dey as confused like that

Kingrshd3:


Now you are talking ...

Living abroad doesn't automatically means u are rich like Otedola and Dangote instead u will still live within your means .

Job is different form job meaning the pay will differ from one another ..

Those with good pay will flourish well to send good cash back home but those with small pay that even struggle to pay rent too dey where if they want to send money home is a very difficult task ...

So my brother the grass is not really greener elsewhere .

You can ask we have beggar here in UK we also have IK citizens that can't afford rent that sleep in the cold weather etc .

So make favour just find us anywhere we dey 🙏

When there is data to back up an idea. You can’t view in different directions! Being abroad cannot be compared to living in Nigeria. Even the extremely rich in Nigeria knows this! Let’s just stop these banter before it degerates into something else!

What We Pay Monthly Here Is Higher Than Our Annual Rent In Nigeria’

Nigerians who recently relocated to the United Kingdom (UK) have listed accommodation as the major challenge they are facing in the country.

Other challenges those who spoke with our correspondent listed are getting Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) which will enable them extend their stay, lack of social life and low chances of getting professional jobs which match their qualifications.

Aside that, those who spoke with TheScrutinyNG said “the decision to leave Nigeria for UK, though stressful and financially demanding was worth it, especially when you consider good governance, the quality of life, healthcare, electricity and good start in life for children”.

Ayomide, a mother of two and her husband moved to the UK in January 2023. According to her, they sold their property in Lagos and used the money to finance her schooling and family relocation to Kent in UK.

“It was tough when we arrived. We first stayed in a hotel for few days while looking for accommodation. My husband was frustrated as he was converting naira to buy pounds. After a while, we got an AirbnB apartment where we stayed for two months. Most two bedroom apartments we got, rejected our application because they said my son is 11 and needs to have a separate room. They said he can’t share same room with my daughter”

“After we managed to get a two bedroom apartment, they were asking us to get a guarantor and filled some forms before signing the contract. It was a long, arduous process but eventually we concluded and we have settled down to some extent”.

Benjamin Onwe relocated to UK with his wife and three children in September 2023. According to him, he was paying N1.5m as annual rent for a four-bedroom apartment in Surulere area of Lagos.

He said ” Accommodation is a major challenge here in UK. I stay in Plaistow and a three bedroom apartment here ranges between £1,500 to £2,500 monthly . When you convert £1,500 to naira at the current exchange rate on Lemfi, that amounts to N2.7m. So, what we are paying here monthly is higher than our annual rent in Nigeria. Then we also have to furnish the apartment and pay other bills. It was tough but the sacrifice is worth it” he said.

BATTLE WITH MOULD

Another major problem accommodation seekers encounter in UK is houses with mould issues.
Mould is a type of fungus that can grow on walls, ceilings, and floors. It’s often found in damp or leaky buildings, which can lead to respiratory problems some people. Roughly 1 in 5 homes in the UK suffer with condensation damp – the biggest catalyst for mould growth.

Narrating her experience, Alero a single lady who just secured a job in London said she got an apartment in January and started experiencing mould issues in March. She said the mould spread everywhere and attempts to get rid of it through cleaning and usage of chemicals didn’t work.

” After enduring for three months, I wrote to the agency through whom I got the house and asked that they give me a better apartment or refund. They refused and said nothing can be done as I have signed a one year contract which is binding”.

” After seeking professional advice from people, I was told to take pictures of the apartment and report them to the council. That was when they agreed that I can leave. I think the mould is always severe during winter when everywhere is cold. So, someone who got an apartment during summer when the weather is hot may not really know if the house has mould issues or not”.

As a means of reducing pressures on accommodation, transportation, healthcare, public schools and other facilities due to immigration into the country, the UK government, through its Home Office has put in place a law that prohibits Nigerian students, and others studying in the country from bringing family as dependents except under specific circumstances.

Last month, a report by Guardian UK says the number of people being made homeless jumped by 16% in the final three months of 2023, according to the latest government figures, which laid bare the scale of the country’s housing crisis.

“Figures published by the government on Tuesday show nearly 45,000 households in England were assessed as homeless in the three months to December, up from just under 39,000 during the same period in 2022”.

“The figures also show the number of people – including children – in temporary accommodation hit record levels in 2023, triggering warnings of a housing “emergency”.

Mike Amesbury, the shadow minister for homelessness, said: “These stats reveal a growing Tory housing emergency being felt by families in every part of the country. Over the past 14 years, the Tories have taken a wrecking ball to the foundation of a secure home, leaving Britain facing a homelessness epidemic.

“Under this government’s watch, kids are growing up in temporary accommodation, coming home from school to do their homework on the bathroom floor of a hotel room and eating dinner perched on their bed.

You're now sounding confused, I told you the woman at Bodija market never sees these propaganda, she fixes her prices based on what she experiences.

I stand with the women selling food at Bodija market, while you are standing with the propaganda mill that are ineffective to the suffering of the masses.
