wasn't rich at 20, was comfortable

What business is that? I would appreciate it if my participation is granted.

Ferrytech:
lolz on a nomes am not support to be here (but i just find this place intresting) come to mobolaji anytime you are chance and say you are looking for ferry .come see bro, even doe it a rented apartment but i got two car

By most, having two cars in a rented apartment amounts to unplanned priorities.
A car with a nice plan to have your own apartment is reasonable in all fronts.
Also, the types and years of the cars matter much though.

Merisbankie:
at 17
brought my car bro

If not fraud, then your background might be a big contribution to such purchase.

Obaseki and his faction are gone. Every candidate from that faction is toast.
Right now obaseki and his excortees have no political party. The shameful end of a betrayer.
PDP helped you out when you were driven by oshiomhole but you turned around to stab them same way you did to oshiomhole. Serial betrayer! Wike has shaved your head like he promised. Hahahahahahahaha......

This is very funny. And your interjection couldn't help either.
What about PDP governorship primary?
That means he stands no chance to bring his candidate later.
The fate of candidates that won in his faction primary would be so much revolting now.

He is very lucky t

Orkas coup was actually going well, many people were already tired of the highly unpopular military regime of General Babangida. Some people believe that the biggest mistake Orka made was saying this:




These states are the power base of the core North and Orka should have consolidated power first before trying to cut them off. But he chose to cut them off in his very first announcement, which then turned the tide against him. Another strategic mistake Orka made was not taking out Sani Abacha, the real power behind Babangida

But Orka was right about one thing, the problem of Nigeria is the core North

You indirectly implied that the coup would have made Nigeria better which I believe would have had a positive effect on the country. It is so sad that things deteriorated to this day.

pocohantas:
They are that inconsiderate. Nigerians make terrible guests and roommates. One even said I am insecure in my body. So being secure in your body means you should be walking about naked? Common sense is not common. Maybe in mama dey walk about naked for house.

You don't seem to have a bad body.
Even though you had; with your awareness, you could easily make the adequate correction with either through the obvious medical method or otherwise.
But in all honesty, I never thought you were this astute, and reasonable.
I viewed you in a bad light.
Your 'antimen' stance on most subjects here defines you as a misandrist. One that would have difficulty in keeping good relationships.

Hanz1:
Can she stay with a guy? If yes, I wld like us to switch apartments. You move over to mine and I move over with her. I don't mind staying with her. But ask her first

@Channah1, this is a good idea.
Your roommate has a perverse, and warped mindset.
Tell her about your uncomfortability with her nude behaviour. It is her response that would tell you her real intentions. And whatever she said. Her intentions are not good.
It is mostly debauched, and lascivious girls that behave in such manner.
You are not her spouse.
So she shouldn't suffocate you with her nudity.
And I am mostly sure she lacks good sex,and masculine touch.
Get a divider(clothes can be cheaper I.e curtains).
Also, let guys to visit you often. That would reduce the frequency of her nudity.

Nikrose:
Small I am not small you can't judge with pics sha! But @bolded maybe I remind him of someone

You look small like under 20, probably 17 or 19.
Your colleague likes you, and probably has a huge crush on you.
Maybe he thinks you might talk down on him or report him if he directly tells you his affectionate intentions towards you.
He appears to lack the courage to ask you out. And you seem like a young Nigerian girl with low manners regarding guys.

saxby:
Na wa o, cash constraints? Even with all the loans?

They made an engineering mistake that increased the total cost from 9b$ to 19b$ I think. So the loans were taken with an aim in mind.

Before dangote urea is 8000 per bag now its 20k.........


I pity anybody that claims this man is the messiah


Nigerians must buy fuel at 1000 per liter on completion

I heard Urea is one of the ingredients for making IEDs.
I am sure such is done to reduce its availability.
I think MOP and DAP are still the same prices.

gfon:
stop being ignorant bro,this shit ain't only in naija,it's everywhere. In my place,there are leaves traditionalist would combine and grind,if Dem rub for your eyes,wetin your eyes go see for this road wey you dey Waka,your mouth no go fit talk am. The spiritual controls the physical!! Be guided

How true is this? How come no one ever mentioned such leaves? Are the leaves found only in this country?

Lee99:
Hmmm I don dey fear, my girl and I were on the bed one night after sex and she said something, I no too reason am until I read this thread, she said "Queen Mother likes you" and I was like make queen mother come make I knack am as I knack you now and she just laughed, she showed me a ring she wore on her index finger had a red ruby top and said that is what queen mother uses to communicate with her, when I have lots of cash on me the moment I call her over the next morning to even see money for her tp go home but I dey always get money back to back it just goes once she spends the night, hmmm make e no be say she dey involved oh and I cannot leave this girl no matter wetin she do, I might need help

Your story is not that clear.
Have you asked her more for clarification?
You need to get more details so that to know the repercussions of dating such person.

tempest01:
This your reply makes me contribute.

There was this Calabar girl I met when i took my sister to write Waec. Fine , light skin. When i talked to her, i saw some movement in her eyes. I told my friend after that "this girl na mammy water". We started talking and she confirmed that indeed she had those issues. I still decided to carry on and date the girl and help her find solution.

One day she told me that she was surprised that we were dating and there was nothing happening to me compared with others. There were no physical or spiritual attacks but I was not just progressing. I saw myself going backwards and my items kept getting stolen. Different people would suggest that she was involved.

When i finally decided to take her to find solution, I was told afterwards to leave her if i value my future. I did and no going back. Other things involved which i cant type all.

What movement did you see in her eyes? How true is this?

The game was changed by Diaz in the second half. Every team needs a Diaz that changes a game. Man city has foden.
Saint maximum and adama traore would play such role well in city, man u, Chelsea or arsenal. But their coaches have not understood it completely.

Slynation:
This your ideologies holds no water, yen yen yen yen yen, season after reason we are used to "Man United will rebuild" it's not by signing Ten Hag, it changes absolutely nothing "MARK THIS WORD"....you ain't even ashamed identifying as a Man United fan...My Female team (FCB_women) will defeat your useless and dead United comfortably even if they are all pregnant...

Just look at the way ATM dealt with your EPL champ (Man city) in UCL to the extent your best team packed the bus for the first...!! You think La Liga teams are playing that your useless gidigbo pattern of football they usually play in England, By the time you run around without touching the ball for straight 15minx, your preeq go calm down by force...!!

Throw Real Madrid, Barcelona and ATM in EPL League... The rest of your hyped team will be fighting from 4th to 20th position....!! QED

You just typed utter, and sublimely absolute balderdash!
Your irrational post is full of rubbishy, and idiosyncratic odium that even a newly weaned kid would puke at your near irredeemable, irrevocable and execrable state
No La Liga team would occupy second position in bigger EPL.
You plastic la Liga fans keep blabbing about how ATM dealt with city. Yet the foolish ATM couldn't score even an offside or a fluke goal.
And how foolish and stupid la liga(Barca and Madrid) fans are that they couldn't know that city had the most possession and better performance in that match?
You are too blatantly and arrogantly thick in the head to know that team with the higher possession and better performance dominated the game(hence, 'city's bus parking' is a minuscule figment of your asinine reverie)
You lots keep inadvertently banking on Ronaldo and Messi era by ignorantly usurping the superiority of EPL to la Liga.
And you forgot the only time lA Liga was worth to be watched was when r7 and Lm10 were there.
La Liga is now officially licensed a glorified farmer's league.
Now, it is very harder for a la Liga team to reach UCL final( Madrid and Villarreal would surely be kicked out like shabby and snobbish thieves)
If not for Madrid's luck(Donnarumma, Marquinhos, mendy and Kante's error and uefa bias). You would have forgotten R Madrid came to UCL this season.
For the records, Man U's problem was the narrow-minded board, and manager.
Now that such gaffe has neared its rectification by the almost in-motion stratagem of higher calibre of footballing sophistication.
Man U second eleven would even beat the best of the best of La Liga.

anonymous1759:
Xavi will end up like Lampard if he wants to build Spanish Team at Barca . Playing Ferran Torres ahead of Depay or starting Gavi or Pedri before de jong is outrightly wrong.
You need your best team to be consistent.

Imagine ferran Torres a bench warmer starting for Barca . That guy doesn’t make any impact .
Depay made lots of impact in yesterday’s match match imagine him playing for 90 mins with dembele that would have been perfect .
Barca is on the right part if Xavi takes out sentiment and play the right players.

You are just being biased.
Xavi watches them always, and trains them. He has the first-hand experience of their ability. Yet you that don't even watch them much is dictating for him.
I thought you all lot said Xavi was the best thing after slice bread? Why the side or double-dealing talk now?
I guess you joined Barca as a plastic fan during Messi era.

Slynation:
From 14th to 9th to 2nd on the log...!! If Barcelona are in deep sleep, Then your darling Man United is dead and buried

Man United is much better than Barca.
If man u were in LA Liga, they would be fighting for the first position in La Liga.
Barca would not even go for ordinary conference league if they were in premier League.
Man u would experience rebuild next season. But this is the best rebuild of Barca with Xavi.
So the worst of Man United is better than your foolish Barca.
Image only Messi wreckled Barca.

coded01:
Haters love bad news...

No good news about Barca is moved to the front page but if na snake this snake that... Sharply dem go move am to the frontpage...

Its obvious some people no wan hear make you talk about these 2 fraudsters... "fake" Torres and Eric Garcia... Kai Man City scammed Barca!

Dem go talk say you get agenda... Imagine 3 home defeats in a row... Worst ever!!!

How did man city scam Barca? Or your useless Barca scammed them.
The same way Barca scammed Griezman, Coutinho, and Henry the Igwe.
Torres became a world-class player in city. Even Garcia was also a world-class at city. He even received national team call-up upon all the defenders in Spain.
Yet you had the audacity to criticize them.
Take it; Barca without authority or bias are low version Eibar.
Even Messi 'mr Eibar' left Barca because Eibar were relegated.

Erling has the capacity to perform well at city. All the doubters would be disappointed.

The Spanish teams especially Barca and Madrid always raid premier League teams for their best players. But they never sell their best players. Yet premier League is head and shoulders better than La Liga by far.
It shows, most times, quality can't be bought with money.
Notable mentions: Owen, David Beckham, Rud Van Nistelroy, Thienry Henry, Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo, Suarez, Coutinho, Fabregas, Hazard etc.

Ddworld:
Nigeria is a lost country that aid and abet crimes. Fraudster eyeing and wining political posts. Yahoo boys flaunting everywhere and a dead judicial system. I have never seen a country as worst as Nigeria.

You were too curt and outspoken with the truth, and some amoral, and unpleasant individuals might negatively call you out.
How does one survive in such a badly unpleasant country?
The country lacks promising hopes.
That is why those that could have made a positive difference still join the bad trend especially on the issue of local and foreign fraud.
Even the law agents are worse.
Most times, it is a big disservice to be born in this country to less privileged parents surrounded by ambitiousless individuals.

pocohantas:
This one pass Lagos matter o. My heart just dey beat fast as I was reading comments. This is tyranny. On top person money? I wonder what is the catch because I would instantly be turned off by a house with numerous flats like say na barracks or university off-campus lodge.

Finally pictures of the wonderful landlord below.

This shows you probably have not lived overseas!
Out there, houses are mostly in large buildings bigger than the aforementioned!
Even in exclusive areas you would prefer, in Nigeria especially Lagos, have houses in such large sizes.
With higher exposure in life, you get to tailor your preferencs and principles adequately.

SmartPolician:
Mainland, aside from Ikeja, Magodo, Ojodu-Berger, Festac and a few places in Surulere, is just disgusting. The day I mistakenly went to Mushin, I swore never to visit there again

Lagos State government is rich. Demolish and rebuild all these places to give the state a decent look.

You are very wrong with this statement.
Even places like ketu and ikorodu have nice and superb places to live.
Maryland, Antony, Yaba, Ogudu, and Costain are are even better and more fantastic than some places in the island.
Lagos as a state and also as a city have a lot of uncontained potentials!
It is inauspicious that some unfortunate elements, in line with the bad leadership of Nigeria, are leading Lagos.
That alone detracts a lot from his ability to be in alignement with other great cities of the world.

Gee64:
Lagos na bad place to breed children oh.

That is farfetched.
Some places for there dey alright.
And for the records, Most renowned Nigerians were bred there.

Emperor88:
Tell those running from your village to go back to their underrated state.

That is too hostile and belligerent with a lot of unnecessary, negative tribalism.
You should have allowed him to list the reasons for his revolting statement. Then you compare it with his choicest or probably his most indigenous state for clear distinction.

starbuck:
LAGOS, an overrated and overhyped state...

You are indirectly saying Nigeria is an overrated and overhyped place with no good development.
Lagos is the center of Nigeria's development.
Any affront on Lagos is a big onslaught on the whole nation.
No city is more developed or advanced than Lagos in Nigeria.
You should fully know the repercussions of some statements before airing them.

Faller:
I was in France some months ago, and I had to leave quickly because of the Language barrier, for some reason best known to them, they hate speaking English. I japa leave them abeg, although I wasn't planning on staying there, but the language barrier made my stay even shorter. In the UK you'll see them trying to impress you with their heavy accented English, but in their home town, reverse is the case, Don't get me wrong I'm not generalizing, but the French people like wahala abeg

That is just blind patriotism, and the unfair basis they have for others. Most of those European countries and few Asians detest speaking any other languages apart from theirs in their home country.
They take it as pride for strangers to speak their language to communicate with them even though they notice the other person has no knowledge of their language.
They take it as prestige.
And I see it as a form of racism because it carries some racist undertones.
When next you visit a country - if possible - you should restrict your travel within the most modern places because those foreign language oyibo matter tie wrapper.

In China, bigger cities like Shanghai, and Shenzhen have English speaking places.
In France, Paris stands out. Even Marseille should also stick out.

But by my observation, Italy still remains the best.
despite different unending tales of racism there, they are very hospitable and relatable.
Of recent, most of our people there are well received. Even though they passed through the backdoor.

SeriouslySense:
I understand, its not a place for decent people.

Nigeria is for the rich, and very fewer lucky ones from poor backgrounds.
Without having adequate funds or good, rich family background; you hardly experience good breakthrough or success in Nigeria.
A place where almost a third/tierce of the population lives under a dollar a day is a hell on earth unworthy of real human comfort.

MeghaneMorgane:
Whatever is the reason the French don’t like to speak English doesn’t matter to me. The good thing was that it forced me to learn the language. I also think language is a vital part of culture. They need to speak it to preserve it whether anyone likes it or not.

I used lots of resources
1. I went to a church that spoke only in French. I didn’t go to Nigerian church because they spoke in French and translated in English. I needed to hear just French.
2. I joined language clubs on Facebook. We go to a bar and just speak. We talk over a glass of beer. That way I got to meet with locals and was hearing French even more
3. I moved into a residence were I shared kitchen with other. I stayed in this residence for a while and honestly, it helped a lot because I spoke with others who spoke fluent French
4. I had 2 hours French class every week
5. I got a job in a restaurant. This job helped me improve my French drastically
6. I just listened to French. I practiced French on my own for at least one hour everyday

Funny thing now is that I have relaxed and don’t even bother anymore because I pick up new words and expressions very fast. I’m literally surrounded by French speaking people everyday. I only speak English when I’m speaking with my friends and family from Nigeria. If not, I’m speaking French.

That is nice. You made some valid points.
But for some obvious reasons, I think any organizations that use french and translate it into English are better than those that use only french.
You easily make notes, and good similarity and dissimilarity both in French and English to easily aid understanding and remembrance.

ThEGodFaThEr131:
As a confirmed Omoluabi guy from Igbęsa Ogun state, I have been to so many states in Nigeria and i must confess no city comes close to Owerri in terms beauty and aesthetic apart from lagos and Abuja.
Please if you feel otherwise, kindly post videos for us to see.
N.B Trolls stay away, this is not a thread for unnecessary arguments but a way to showcase the beautiful sides of our country, Nigeria.

This is a very nice and educative thread.
It shines light on important places to live in Nigeria that have a lot of evidence of quality living.
You should list some other nice places too. It would make a good read, and easily direct others to places of their interests.
My interest already sparked. And I have made it into a topic. You can add to it.

*High employment opportunities: Lagos, pH, Kano, Abuja, Kaduna, Enugu, Benin

*Good infrastructure:
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, pH,

*Good security and low level of security personnel harrasment. Lower police extortion/brutality:
Sokoto, Kano, Yola, Katsina, pH, Lagos Island

Good security:
Abuja, Sokoto, uyo, pH, Lagos Island

*Availability of more tarred roads:
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, awka(other Anambra cities), uyo

*Neat areas:
Abuja, Lagos, Calabar,

*Good educational system. Mostly Osun states:
Lagos, Abeokuta, Kaduna, Oshogbo, Ota, ado ekiti, Ibadan, Ile ife, Enugu

*Good support system: places for raising good family: this is very controversially relative, and largely depends on the part of the city: Enugu
Kaduna, Ilorin, awka, ado-ekiti

4ckyou:
1. Abuja
2. Lagos
3. Port Harcourt
4. Uyo
5. Calabar

You have a point there. But make it top 10 or 20. At least, Nigeria has more than 30 states. So it should comfortably have 20 beautiful and advanced cities with few world standardized metrics of development.
Kaduna, Abeokuta, awka and warri are nice in terms of development, and jobs availability.

Slynation:
just to prove a point you have to type nonsense...!! I'm very certain you watched only the highlights, because if you had watched the match, you would have noticed the gameplay was paused and it took about 6 minx for the ref to get back his mic in order...

I can see how pained you appear now since the truth really hurt you.
since the world bests left the glorified two-horse league, it has returned to its shadows.
Even the undeserved uefa favour has no deciding effect any longer.
If not for Chelsea avoidable errors, la Liga would have had just only one team among the 12 teams in the semi finals of all European cups competitions.
