I have lived in both cities.
Take PH. The rents are reasonable, transport is relatively lower than in Lagos. The water quality is better too.

Most people think food is cheaper in Lagos. It is a fallacy.

But i dedicate my ftc to every nairalander that observing this ramadan fasting and Christians that recently celebrate easter.....

You have shown you are a civilian in the realm of the spirit and you have never waged any spiritual warfare in your life.

My aunty was once in the village and was taking a walk at night and fell behind two men. As soon as one of them mentioned my dad's name, she decided to follow them from a distance and even passed where she was supposed to go.

Topic of discussion: how did my father stay alive after a heavy spiritual manipulation to take his life?

This was two weeks after my dad made a dramatic recovery from a 6-month hospitalization, which we confronted with 30 days of intense fire prayers, because doctors were at a loss as to what was really wrong with him.

So if you like, keep on with your ignorance. You will soon find out by experience what this is all about.

Bigboytinz:
Not surprising. 7 out of 10 female MDs of banks are Yoruba women. I don't know why most organisations especially corporate prefer Yoruba women

.

They are enterprising. Check out this lady's qualifications. Or check out those of the Transcorp CEO.

They are not content to just get married and have children, or to open a small shop somewhere.

I find this particular pastor very detestable, especially after I heard his views on payment of instrumentalists.

He was the Fiddler in Roots (1977).

Well, back in the day when Kumuyi came up against TV, TV was a whole lot different than it is now. There were a lot of programmes that some Nigerian christians considered immoral...and there was no way to change the channel

While some christians, like my parents, would switch off the set when immoral shows came on , some like the Deeper life people completely removed TV. And not only deeper life...some christians even oversease removed tv.

What changed? The advent of satellite and digital TV and a mulitplicity of channels.

Instead of immoral and moral shows being shown on one channel...suddenly you had whole channels devoted to clean and whole channels devoted to unclean programming (from a christian perspective). Add the fact that you now have christian channels with christian programming (back in the day, NTA used to have just 30 minutes on a Sunday, until they started selling spaces...and even then it was about 4 out of 12 hours self)...and then you had things like parental control button, which helped a lot with self censorship.

SO, yeah, tv became safe enough for deeper life.

It gets better....people now have a lot more control over what they view. Not like before when it was one channel, and they would show a clean kids programme by 4pm, and a foreign entry at 7.30 where a man and woman are making out and doing y'know stuff in the first scene. The internet has even changed the whole game self...some even say tv may become obsolete.

Sir,
TV back then was very sane compared to what people are faced with today. There were no shows that presented nudity in the day time or evening. Not even the music videos. Tell me one music video of the 70s or 80s that showed nudity the way it is plastered everywhere today.

Slimm01:
This is a black mamba snake. Very very venomous.

Wrong. Black mambas get their name from the black colour of their mouths, not skin.

They are typically grey, ash or brown-coloured. Hard to kill as they are super fast, can climb trees and raise themselves several feet in the air.

iamoyindamola:
Yes but FMCs
I doubt health centers or private hospitals have anti venoms available more over you have to know the type of snake that bite someone to know the anti venom to administer

But it can be locally treated, my sister was once bitten by a viper she was lucky we have some village people around
He man removed the venom by cutting her with blade all over the leg

Nigeria uses a polyvalent antivenom, effect against viperidae (vipers), elapids (cobras) and dendroaspis sp (mambas).

WriterNig:
Of all places to practice terrorism, you chose Russia.

You'll experience pains of a different dimension in the hands of the FSB. You won't die but you won't live either.

There's no death sentence in Russia, you know why? So you can live out the remaining years of your life in excruciating pain, one body part at a time.

In the Siberian penal colonies. The worst kind of place to be locked up.

[color=#1986BC] The other operative will be strung up by the legs and bled dry until restitution is made...[/color]

Are you aware the person you are referring to is a former US intelligence operative?

Some of those countries' languages belong to immigrants and are not indigenous.

Who coached this team?

A totally disjointed performance the whole game. Just kick and follow with no pattern.

Melagros:
In case you don't know, let me give just one assignment; when you were in school do you used to call your lecturers by their names?

But students in first world countries call lecturers by their names and it is normal over there
Try this in Nigeria and see whether you will ever graduate from your school

Honestly, I don't know how people understand statements, we are talking about Nigeria and zoom you guys just travelled to developed countries

The day an Arise TV correspondent called Dr Reuben Abati by his first name, the guy lost it totally and gave the lady a hefty bashing on live TV.

The fool is not even standing at attention when being corrected. Imagine the disrespect and insubordination. They should make him do fatigue under hot sun for 5 days.

Please, I hope he walked a short distance to the last bus stop in that area to see the abject poverty wallowing the citizens he wants to preside over.

All this showmanship won't get him anywhere.

God knows those who are miracle chasers and mammon worshippers, who come to church and treat God like a slot machine (such as this man).

JobZoneNews:
We hope this continues this way. Nigeria will become better.

Where have you been since 1986?

Or from 1994 when a dual exchange rate system (N22 official and N88 parallel market) was introduced by Abacha when he brought CBN under the presidency?

Namaster:
No one is going to pay #907k minimum wage in Nigeria. Not even in the next 35 years.

Imagine the ripple effects. Inflation will take off like a rocket launched by Spacex.

Which worker of mine will I pay N907,000? From which profits?

Which member of NASME will pay such as minimum wage?

Please educate me.

I understand that two families usually produce the Olubadan in alternate order.
I like to know more about other cultures.

Multiversed:
I went out very early today and I was already feeling tired on my way home so I wouldn't be able to perform some magic In the kitchen.

So I decided to branch my favorite food spot to buy some food.

To my surprise, The quantity of their food is now so small and costly. My eyes were sore but I just had to pay up and left the place Immediately.

The Breakdown

Jollof Rice:N300
Fried Rice:N300
Spaghetti:N200
Beef:N400
Egg:N200
Container:N200

The idea of paying N200 for container has dissuaded me from these take-away business.

Misterone:
The salary of a professor was not up to 2k in 1975. So you can see the progression! Don't just compare the price of goods, also compare the earning power at the time. You will see that it's still the same as today. I can remember vividly in 1979, I try saving N20, I couldn't do it in 3 months. That's to tell you how difficult it was to get money then. If it were easy, you father would have bought all the land and own all the estates in Onitsha.

N20?

The highest gift I got as a child then was 50 kobo! Popsie seize the money because he could not imagine such big money in my hands as of 1978.

efogie:
Wrong price, My T.fare from Ojota to Zuba 1998 was N150, so loaf of bread in 1998 cannot be 200. As at 2012, 2013 chunkies and Eco bakery sell their biggest loaf for 200, 250. Butterfield was about 250. I doubt if mama Anayo biggest loaf was up to 50 Kobo in 1978. i used to share 20kobo bread with my bother then.

for real

Loaf of bread in 1998 was between N10 to N50 if I am correct.

CluelessMODS:
Your dad must be earning big.

That was then. Pre-1982. Life was too good.
We started feeling the pinch from 1982. By 1986/87, the changes in our family finances for the worse became evident.

gotnel:
The devaluation started with Babangida SFEM policy.
Second tier Foreign Exchange Market.
Yes.
There was a gradual devaluation before Babangida jargon of economics policy, but the real point of no return started with sfem.
My father bought a Peugeot 505GL at the cost of #6,000 ( six thousand naira only) in the year 1985.
Bought a Bedford lorry 5 tons at the cost of #11,000 the same year.
I can categorically remember my father and his friends saying that the vehicles are now costlier than they expected.
Now in Nigeria,what can we do with any amount up to 999,000 naira?
I just believed that life was much more easier then.
Hope is not lost
Life continues
Work hard
Try to meet up
God bless our hustling

God will punish Kalu Idika Kalu and Chu SP Okongwu. They brought this shit upon us.

Pauldollars:
What do you think of the value of the Naira?

Totally messed up. In 1975, my dad could buy that Peugeot with 3 months pay. As of his retirement, he would need 7 years pay to buy the same brand new car.

The real story is this:

how is it that Nigeria cannot boast of trauma centres to deal with GSW?

Tell this to the marines.

Khariza:
Quite true. However, it can't be up to 60%.

There are some coded electricians that can alter the operations of some of those meters. However, they would not do it for every and anybody. It's highly coded.
I know someone in particular, morning and night his air conditioning units are always on. In fact, most times even with no one at home, once there's power from the grid, you will hear both outer units working full blast.

All who participate in such, both electrician and user, are all booking their places in hellfire in the judgement to come. We will all answer to how we lived to our Maker.

castorcornsoya:
Good afternoon fam,
Hardworking farm workers are available at ilorin, kwara state, they are from the north but are hardworking and are ready for yearly payment.
You feed and house them, their yearly settlement is 350k which you pay by December, but commission and transportation is 60k for each worker payable immediately you receive them.
For details, call or whatsapp on 09031668036

So if they run away after one month, will you refund that commission?

Why should an old man be the

Pete Edochie represents integrity. I am not sure you know his early history as a journalist during the Verdict '83 elections, and how he has stayed consistent to his values over the years.

Not like some people we know.

That boy Yul should take several steps back and learn from his father.

Folks, this is how the entire racket works.
After they have fed fat on the populace, they push one of their own into govt to protect their interests.

Alex Otti was a banking top wig. This kind of deal must have been pulled off in the golf course.

Meanwhile the BATIfied and OBIdients will be wasting their energy on social media.
