Gen Sani Abacha used him eyes see shege then to the extent of making him cry publicly on national TV only for Abacha to give him white handkerchief again to wipe his years.

R. I. P Lt- General Diya.

Cry good now

Diya shit for pant oooo

Though stories then was he had special cane for his wife and she cannot touch food stuff in food store....She must not question him on girlfriend matter.

Rest In Peace Sir.... It is well

My WhatsApp is on my profile

Itzteewhy:
I don't want to reply but seeing considering your profile as a single mum. I just felt some pity.


See I'm a pro-japa myself infact by the grace of God when I'm done with my B.sc my next thing na to Japa lol make God pick my call.

However, Frankly speaking I won't advice my enemy to Japa to UK as it is today. Considering the amount you are earning here in Nigeria which comparably good IMO. Majority of people don't like to hear the truth. The standard of living is extremely high in UK.

As someone as said. They are low-key in recession they are just being quite about it so people trooping in won't notice cos they actually need that sef. The system is kinda flawed. They give and take double of it back.


You are better off staying Nigeria and perhaps going for vacation occasionally. And if you are still keen on Japa-ing. I would advice you look at other countries like Canada, Australia or perhaps Europe or scadinavain countries. Who knows you might have better opportunities in some of these countries.

My 2cents tho.

Supported.

She can even just be in Naija making her cool cash, invest them( stocks, bonds, fixed deposits, properties). What most people don't have I'm Nigeria is capital... We have the market size and robust economy ( forget the financial crunch recently due to CBN's policy/ies)

When the children are of age eg 18 years, send them abroad to study and reside eg in Canada or USA.

When they get their stay fully eg in USA, the children will file for her and she can then decide to move there and even own her own house( small or big, anyone u choose) if u don't want to stay with your kids. It doesn't stop u owning a house in Nigeria.

Not everyone's destiny begins in abroad

U are also business savvy and by the time u get to USA/Canada through your kids, u will see more mouth watery @Home jobs.

Kukutenla:
Power rotation is anti-democratic. It is a political elite conspiracy to turn political power to a commodity to be traded and negotiated instead of sought for from the electorate. It seems Kperoogi is not familiar with what democracy is about. It is about participation of the populace in the governance process.
Power rotation totally negate that as it excludes some parts of the country at one point or the other from being voted for.
Any country with different nationalities like Nigeria is better served with a regional or provincial govt with a weak centre. That way, the regions are able to determine the pace of development by themselves while the centre takes care of issues that are general in nature.
Power rotation breeds ethnoreligous politics more than any other thing and the attendant "it's our turn to chop" mentality.
What we should be advocating for is stronger regions and weaker center

Power rotation is the BEST.... No region has everyone as a dunce not even for highly intelligent Nigerians.

5 years single term so e go quick reach 'all d children of one Nigeria'.

Resource control is important then, we all pay taxes to the Centre and for those who have some weak States among them eg SW, let the stronger ones( economically)like Lagos help the weaker ones( eg Osun, Oyo) after all they 'help' them during politics and we have been told that they can't be divided in anyway.

Let Senators and all others ( Chairman, Councillors) run single 5year term.

If states are practicing rotation why not at the Federal level.

Resource control and REGIONALISM may even start soon if in other to keep Nigeria as one we all sit down and agree that Atiku rules the North(?).... Asiwaju the West( after all he is very familiar with his region)..... Obi rules the East.... And 3 others are picked to cover the other geopolitical regions. Not only one region ( or handful)will do open eye for the others.

Resource control and REGIONALISM makes u value non indigenes in your midst since u will appreciate them for paying their taxes and helping to boost the economy in that region ( at least they will patronize locals there) as no reliance on oil money.

Resource control and REGIONALISM will help regions develop their seaports which will put less pressure on Lagos seaport and help Lagos look inwards to replace the income coming from the Lagos seaports especially from non indigenes.

Igbek76:
The yorubas are very calm, enlighten and very respectful responsible people.
Unlike the very proud, very arrogant and noisy good for nothing Igbos.

Not all of them....And it is getting shockingly worse everyday.

Rotational Presidency is the best.

It is already operational within states but when it comes to Federal level those who should know better come in with their party and shout Emilokan which forces Mr. A to come out too to represent his party when it is obvious even to the blind that it is the turn of the SouthEASTERNERS and to make this 5% group( other 5% if not 3.5% are SS and minorities) have a sense of belonging all candidates must be from SE

Anyway the next in line will be Northerners(I guess NC NE)....We go see how dem go wan chance SS wen e reach our turn.

TheManPregnant:
Hmmm...

Or better still, let there be a constitutional provision for people to only be eligible to vote in their state of origin. This will help to allay the fears of a take over by another ethnic group in certain regions.

Una ethnic bigots will just come online and yarn anything...

You think living in a State is just about being born there by one's parents?... What about those with many generations there, or u think dem no dey Nigeria too? Oh, they should go looking for their state of origins? But u wan enter UK and USA and within 10 years dey carry their passport and dey vote?

Nigeria wasn't like this--- this divided like now.... Abi most of una na village dem born una?

Don't force your local mind/brain on all Nigerians... Some sef na foreigners who have nationalised.... With that 18 March display in Lagos, many didn't come out to vote.

Iloko:
go and watch the video yourself and hear what he said. The man really misyarned

Being victimized is not easy and so he said it out of anger.

Someone said if ur tribe were to be Igbos who have been hurt and marginalized for long, u would have since gotten ur Oduduwa country.

Instead of annoying the Igbos more, I expected apologies but the reverse is the case.

I used to think Yorubas have the most home training but my interactions with some for few years now and what I see online seems like the reverse.

And when kasala burst now, dem go run away.

I no be Igbo but I dislike this thing u do every election time and still want them to pay tax and be brotherly towards u.

Okorietitus:
Have you ever seen Yorubas call London no man's land?
Have you ever seen Yorubas come out and say they have a candidate for the post of PM of Britain?

You can keep lying to yourself, but everyone knows Igbos as irritants.

The British Govt, Sierra Leonean President, Ukrainian President and others congratulated Tinubu, Igbos went to their pages and we're insulting those leaders. The Sierra Leonean President had to close comments on her page.

Enough is enough of the disrespect, insolence and stupidity of Igbos to Yorubas.
Yorubas owe Igbos no apologies now they feel about the events of Saturday, 18th of March. If Igbos can't respect Yorubas as their hosts, they will keep being treated as unwanted guests.

Na only Igbos dey Lagos? Even if other non Yorubas talk na Igbo dey bear the brunt because una kukuma no sabi who no be Igbo.

Even UK u guys are parading like ur 2nd home town and some even misbehaving there, if u continue with this nonsense ethnic profiling instead of condemning it, it will consume u guys.

All because of nonsense politics....Una use Igbo say 'na no man's land' to prevent every non Yoruba from voting that day through intimidation and brute ....

How I wish we can get names of all urchins behind the monikers celebrating tribalism and ethnic profiling and forward their names fast to these countries demanding for such.

So much for the sophisticated tribe that cannot tolerate their fellow Southerners.

Corridon:
Meaning that anyone who kills a Bat would be jailed?

No, there is a current case of an American bull dog( if I can remember) that strayed mistakenly from the owner's house and even when they saw it in another house in the estates, instead of them handing it over to the owner after all, it didn't hurt anyone, the security there said he received instructions to kill it.... This is imported dog ooo not bingo and right in the presence of the brother of the owner, they shot it and while the fog cried and tried running to meet the brother, it was cornered and shot more( about total of 3 bullets).

I'm not a fan to pets as such, but this one ooo is criminal offence. The owner is still grieving and it is a woman.

fashrola:
Can we stop this RUBBISH already? e never do you?

One thing you need to know in this life is that everything is VANITY, we came empty-handed (Abi you carry land come from birth?) and we gonna die with nothing.

You need to see this LIFE in a different perspective... NOTHING dey am

live free and free your MIND from HATE

I tire oooo

What happened in Lagos was seen globally and instead of these lots o apologies as this affected many non Yorubas not only Igbos they are cementing their bile daily.

Imagine ethnic cleansing or ethnic profiling in UK which is Yorubas 2nd home town? I shame!

Brutee:
Lol, don't be ridiculous, how can Nigerian culture be older than Ghana when historically Ghana is as old as Egypt, Nigeria came into being in 1914. Ghana was already an empire way back the 10th century


NB - To those displaying their ignorance under my mention saying Ghana was formed in 1957 bla bla bla. They had the name Ghana before the White man gave them the name "Gold coast" which doesn't have any meaning in Africa language. When the white man left they had to go back to their ancient and ancestral name. Nigerian government must as a matter of urgency reintroduce history into the curriculum. The ignorance about history for many people reeks. It's no longer funny

Knowing history doesn't mean we have to know about every single country in Africa ... Ours is more important to us first.... Yours and others may come as what one reads personally.

Ghana has smelly rice which dents the taste of a good, well prepared rice.

Nigeria has variety of food- One of the best cooks in Africa....Morocco too I heard cook well.

Nigeria has the best in variety in culture( dressing, music, dance) or among the best in Africa.

Late Livi Ajuonuma's boy( Chude)...Boy in journalism before Livi went to NNPC.

May his release be fast.

Nwanna2588:
I can now say that power is rotating among Urhobo, Itsekiri and Igbo in Delta

I think Ijaw too needs to come in.

Rayban25:
Its men...because men put emotions aside meanwhile women hardly know how to set emotions apart while doing work or business...which is bad for business

Not for Marketing jobs, Day care jobs etc

podium:
Good morning all,

I will make this short and brief. I have work in a school for 10years now. I started working there with a salary of 8k up till 20k. I now have a wife with 2kids. The salary was not taking care of us again. And I was left in taking loan. But in any academic session ie 1st, 2nd, 3rd term, apart from my salary I do see up to 100k or more base on tips and other deals.

I resigned February and I got a new job of 45k. Now my former job is calling me to come back, that I will be given 30k.. maybe when more pupils come my salary will be increase..

Former job
* I go by 7.30 and close by 3.30 and have time with my family
* Trekable from my house, I don't pay t.p.
* I enjoyed public holidays and mid term break
* I don't go on Saturday, still have time with my family
* Tips and pension available

New job
* I go by 7:30 and close by lastest 7:30 or 8 no time for my family
* I pay 400 to and fro
* I work on Saturdays no time for my family
* No tips anywhere.. just your salary and you will be subcharge for any wrong posting.

I have 1 week to decide... Please help coz I am confused.

Which do u have more PEACE OF MIND and FREEDOM?

See eh, Salary( size) doesn't equate job satisfaction in some cases.

kennethfranc:
If there's 100k then definitely there'll be extra 20k for mum
Dad: 50k
Mum: 50k +20k

Exactly for me IF life was fair.

I may still have taken my dad out to enjoy because he was one of a kind. My dad can give his eye to us( his Queen and princesses), was surprised growing up and seeing the opposite in some fathers.

If we must plan anything in the house especially going to friends party and mum mustn't know since she is not too much of a fan to that, we must involve our dad if we want the plan to scale successfully....Once he approves, we hide our party clothes in our school bags waiting for the next instruction for our accomplice dad( lol)

chatinent:
Now, nobody is saying this is move to takeover Brazil.


Nobody is saying this is an act that inanimately echoes that Brazil is no man's land.


Same people who were propaganda tools used by APC during the Lagos elections saying the Igbos wanted to overtake the yorubaland through another yoruba man, are here on this topic praising this they'd call annexation if it happened in Lagos. But since it's not the Igbos, "it is a good development for a civilised world".


Nigerians, which way!


I see comments on this topic and smile. So you know how to reason like human beings but choose not to when it doesn't support your views?

It's good I know Yorubas that aren't this dumb to be used by APC tricks.

Meanwhile, tribalists, now fall on your sword.

Cheers.

My response to sb here on this thread that can serve as multi-responses to those wanting to tag me with reasonable or unreasonable comments::

To whom it may concern...

And with Yorubas' link with Yorubas' in Brazil, they still denied GRV to be their son saying he is of the lineage of slave returnees.

I wonder why Politicians lie to gain whatever they want and their followers just follow without reasoning.

Imagine if the aboriginal Brazilians have to carry out ethnic profiling and cleansing on Yorubas in Brazil.

MrPADDY:
Lol. So because of Buhari's CBN, I should remove all my money from Access, UBA, Wema into PalmPay? Please, where is PalmPay physical address in Ibadan let me go and check something.

Try Smartcash( Airtel) and Mtn Momo apps downloads first.

Access bank with its code(*710# or *426#) can transfer to these apps when u need to transfer certain cash.

Palmpay may be okay but I still have reservations for it because of Yahoo boys.

My own is how do people go to work, do commercial taxis take Cards?

Or people must go to POS to get cash with high interests from POS operators?

CBN should release free or cheap POS machines to traders, taxi drivers etc without charges incurred by their customers.

I thought xenophobia was only restricted to SA till last week Saturday in Lagos.

Hoping Yorubas won't be ethnically profiled when they find themselves outside Nigeria because of the shameful act in the commercial and former capital of Lagos.

Hoping they won't complain whenever SAns start their xenophobia again.

As open minded as they say those in charge of Lagos are, u still can't easily get job in its State's ministry.

You will need to recontest next election....Do this, following all due protocols on time so your competitors/opponents will not use any loophole against you.

You are still young..

In Nigeria, it seems only old people can rule us as they want u to wait for your time since the 'queue' long....

SmartPolician:
That FCT 25% NONSENSE sounds absurd to me. FCT is often separated from the 36 states because it's a territory, not a state (they cannot call it 37 states). However, as far as the election is concerned, FCT is like every other state in the country.

BTW, if Peter Obi is hoping to use that as basis to upturn Tinubu's sham victory, then I am afraid he has no case against the Druggie because it won't work.

I was thinking that if the FCT is a territory then there would only be appointments into offices ther however if on the contrary, then it should be regarded as a state to ( election into offices) fulfill the necessary political/electoral requirement to be President.

millionaireman:
Even the Federal Colanut that FFK and Bayo Onanuga are gunning for shall elude them if Tinubu becomes president. Shettima will lead the
Aso Rock cabal whose tenure was renewed, to squeeze out agents of mentally compromised Tinubu from Aso Rock power play.


Shettima had since declared before the NBA that he will be Commander of the Armed forces of Nigeria if APC wins.

Best time for Military personnel's especially from SE SS NC minorities to resign as the whole system and Intel will collapse with more casualties.

BH came into being because of desperate Politicians.

nairalee:
If given the opportunity, Nigerians would be worse than the white racists. Never will I take the black man serious anymore when they complain about racism or xenophobia in a foreign man's land.

At least the whites can claim superiority and protecting their own country as their reason for racism but what's your own damn reason for discriminating against your fellow black, innocent, struggling neighbour? SHAME

Well said... And Lagos, just like Cotonou, Douala etc is the commercial capital of Nigeria but still filled with so many tribalistic Your as.

Anyway, soon when Yorubas begin to indicate their interest to run in offices outside Nigeria and need the help and cooperation of other Nigerians, I hope this 2023 Politics of bitterness wouldn't be replayed to them.

This marriage of 500+ tribes when some people kick out the legitimate region that should be in power ideally despite the hard work of Labor Party and foist another tribe that has duly done its terms seems not to be working oooas open eye done start, imagine make in the middle of their governments at Federal and State level, SS sef open eyes and cut their pipe, at least then we will know if they will fully continue to serve Nigerians

ferhyntorlah:
Ogun State doesn't seem to get it right with governors.

Apart from Olusegun Osoba, I haven't seen any that wowed me that much.

Maybe OGD - Otunba Gbenga Daniel a little bit.

OGD made it possible for investors to come into Ogun State far into Abeokuta for those coming from Lagos....As a Governor, he had an all welcoming approach to non indigenes.

According to many Ogun State indigenes, Ibikunle Amosun did well too.

Dapo was slack with road repairs though in the last 1year 6 months+, he kind of woke up from slumber on roads... He is like a father though and runs the State as such so less drama.... He was good in welfare for Civil servants.

Ogun State, unlike what is usually portrayed on Nairaland is safe, even safer than Lagos with enough affordable green cabs, Yellow Okada and some Keke Marwa for its 'less trafficked ' state or even capital( Abeokuta).

proxillin:
Oya lets go

My Amuwo Odofin people doesn't disappoint... Waiting for other close areas/ LCDAs.... Also places like Tin Can/ Apapa, Ojo, Iba,Orile, Okota.... Apart from other cosmopolitan areas like VI/Lekki, Ikoyi/ Obalende etc

Wainey:
please Emir of Lagos sir.

This is not related to the topic but I want ask "what part of Lagos State is there enough traffic for Keke business.
I deh sell Keke so I need to know where Keke deh always drive so I could open a shop there.

Since the thread don enter FP, please people what state has a lot of traffic for Keke business except Rivers and Bayelsa as I already have branches in those states already

Iberekodo to Mawuko in Abeokuta North, Ogun State has no Keke Maruwa... So, bike guys charge( higher when fuel isn't available) N300 per person or 2 persons N500 after some bargaining.

Just letting u know since u asked... Mawuko is springing up with houses and private estates.... Also, Ajegunle Ilepo( with back gate about 5 mins drive after the General Hospital at Iberekodo) to Bode Olude, no Keke Marwa. People share bikes here( N120-150 per person when there is no fuel hike) as to even see one is wahala.... People overload Ogun State green cabs ( N100 per person but not when there is no fuel)since not many pass here.

Besides, if one chooses to go from the back gate of Ajegunle Ilepo to Iberekodo( and to other places), the road there is a mid section that if u follow forward takes one to Mawuko and backwards to Iberekodo but to get vehicle there is wahala. Hoping vehicles will be many there even st night.

Soon, from Mawuko where the FUNAAB satellite campus leads further to Opebi( and out to Ibadan) if the road is well linked( hoping the government will do more in road constructions), there are few bikes plying there.

If these places have keke, it encourages movements in and out.

This is why a woman must watch well before giving and leaving her child alone with a father who isn't ready especially the one who had earlier expressed himself as not being ready to father a child when she was pregnant.

Nigeria presently will not make some men ready to be father's at 30years unlike in some countries, more reason to be deliberate about planning well one's future before unnecessary pleasure.

pansophist:
My own five list (perhaps advise) if you want to study abroad.

1. Choose countries that offers permanent residents after studies. So far, I know of Finland that does such.

The Finnish immigration changed since April 2022 favorably for international students. You'll get four years (or two years for masters) residence permit and after that permanent residency. Also, some degree programs are still free.

2. If you're single, the better. I mean, you can legalise yourself easily as a single individual. Must you marry from your country? Are you mad? or are you a racist? As a single person, multiple channels for permanent stay are open to you.

Through work permit, marriage, having a child. So the single, the better. And you have only yourself to care for. Unlike married people that have that channel locked, and while struggling as a student, still have mouths to feed and responsibilities to meet.

3. If you're married, then consider Finland. You and your wife can work at least 30 hours a week. School is free for your kids, and lots of social benefits awaits you all. Finland is the new Canada. A society with no single poverty, yes you heard it right. Zero poverty eveb amongst illegal immigrants.

4. Please avoid UK.

Call me enemy of progress, but please avoid UK. Small roads, small cars, even their girls get small arsenal. Also, UK residence permit restricts you to the UK only. A Schengen permit gives you access to all the Schengen countries. And over twenty more non Schengen countries.

Google for "Schengen substitute visa", and you'll see lots of countries in Asia, south America, and non EU countries you can visit just because you have a Schengen visa. Welcome to travel freedom. Please leave UK.

Please, how can one deal with language and tax problems in Finland?
