But why did the illiterate driver disobey the police officer by refusing to remove the flag...

And why did the Barbaric police officer shoot at the lorry driver

I mean,when will civilisation come to Nigeria

Donald Trump was right after all... There is indeed a need for recolonisation.

God bless you immensely bro!!!

Salaries? In January 2017, I hustled money to arrange drivers license so as to earn something higher than 15k a month, with a not working, live in baby mama in tow. In March, my wish was granted I got a 40k driver job in a location close to home. I work late, I work Monday to Saturday, I am depressed, from my larger than previous salary I can't buy myself a shirt, I still dress in my rags to work. Salaries are the reward in a permanent rat race, only those who break out of the box end up well.

The Nigerian male faces a harsh reality as he wakes up from sleep each morning.

It is well...

Here's my take on it : How much minimum would you need live ideally?

I'm using the dollar as my reference, so:

Before inflation : $1 = 160 Naira
Now : $1 - 360 Naira (225% Increase)

Therefore, to get the same value of 100k before inflation time in present day, you would need to be earning 225,000

Assuming you're putting aside money for rent monthly (lets say 800k divided by 12 months), 66,000

Feeding expenses are usually anywhere from a quarter of your income to half. Choosing half of 225,000: 112,500

Transport? Assuming 30% of 225,000 : 67,000

Adding all of this, we have a total ideal of N470,500


Now, Ask yourself, what level/position within your company would you need to be to be earning that?

While you're asking yourself, lets convert this to dollars at N360 per dollar. That's[b] $1306 a month.[/b]

If you check salary benchmarking sites in others countries you may find out what they earn monthly is way above that.

Example :

Nigerian Salary for Front web developer (approx) : 60k ~ 240k ~ higher which in US dollars is[b] $166 ~ $240 per month[/b]
Arabian Salary for Front web developer (approx), the amount in US Dollars is $1000 to $2000

Conclusion

If you take the lowest amount in an arabian country ($1000), and convert to naira, you'll see its barely enough to sustain you based on our ideal income

We live in a country where we need to almost out-earn international counterparts to put body and soul together, but our economy can't afford to pay us our worth.

Very tactical analysis... You just have to agree!

Reading comments here makes me weak, is this generation now so sex starved? Lord help your children.

You mean, once a guy and a girl are together, next thing is to start fukcing each other? Nawa! Na real wa!!!!

But that is what happens most often than not.......

This is why I only go to people's birthdays parties in their houses, RIP.

That could be worse off if you ask me...

Another thing that is as beautiful as morning sex is having the necessary skills to be either self independent or to be employable in a globally recognized company.Many Nigerian graduates are learned but most times are not employable.The world is gradually drifting towards being a global village whereby you can interact with everyone in the world from same location.In order to achieve this you need to be vast in the use of technological tools that gives you an edge over other unemployed youths.Skills such as Graphics design,digital media marketing,3D animation gives you the opportunity to land your dream job or even establish yourself and be financially independent.Kindly reply with your email address or call 08187428339 to enroll for any of our packages.

I agree with you but don't we all know who she is ? Should we expect a leopard to change her skin ?
Cheers.

I guess you are right

Have a great weekend!

PenSniper:



What's her offence in this that warranted your gibberish ? I have no use for Kemi Olunloyo but I fail to see her error in this.
Objectivity is a virtue alien to some people.
Or is it because she exposed the unbriddled immorality of young men raping their own mothers in the SEast ?

Not entirely gibberish if you ask me.

For a mature lady to respond by telling the young lad to go bleep his old mum is totally unacceptable. She did the right thing by exposing the dude, no doubt but i don't subscribe to her vulgar lines in that write up!

greenhulk:


48L fuel from Lagos to East and back, haba bros.. unless Ur East is Benin and ur Lagos is from Berger. Or maybe the civic is hybrid. Lagos to Onitsha is about 450km, to and fro is approximately 900km. Honda Civic 1.6L has combined mpg of 6.9L/100km. It is almost impossible to get factory mpg in Nigeria because of driving conditions and quality of fuel. Oh and the car has to be almost new. what year is ur friend's civic? If the car is like 12 yrs old then getting factory mpg is almost impossible.

Ok let's say u are getting factory mpg, 6.9L/100km x 9= 62.1L of fuel, Hmmmm.

Exactly my thoughts!!!

MissCokie:


How is he responsible for that?. Last time I check, exercise is not an abomination in Nigeria.

Well Said...

Thumbs Up!!!

EntMirror:
Now.. Most of the points listed above are valid, but what happens when you get the job? You keep dressing up and knotting that tie every day of your life till retirement? You keep praying for promotion as your paycheck gets swallowed up in debt? You live your whole life, in fear that your job offers no security?

You wake up every day, fearing uncertainty. 'What if i woke up one morning and I don't have a job? '

Year to year, you keep running the rat race.. Running in circle and hoping to pull through. One of the greatest thing in life is when you tackle that which you fear most. Everybody cannot be the boss, but you can. You can be the boss and be in charge. You can be financially free and employ. You can have everything. In your mind, you're limitless. In life, few are meant for the spotlight, billions are spectators. Which one do you want to be?

Don't listen to that weak voice, telling you to take the easy road. Telling you to avoid failure. Fire your boss, burn that CV and be the boss.

Happy Sunday.

I have had to forsake buying a new car just so I can complete the house.

I guess the car and all other luxuries will have to wait for now.....

Yes, the 'SENSITIVE' guy will know for sure!

If the story was d other way round, would u ask this question Baren woman, man fathers kids outside? Pls let b critical and objective in our reasoning.

Then i STRONGLY suggest you heed YOUR own advise...

Is it 'NEARLY' enough justification?

I'm curious....

HighIQ:
Welcome, here are some big courses with a potential of rendering those who studied it into a state of regrets.They are big courses. There names sound good to the hearing. But are these big courses really what they claim to be?. Or are their other courses or profession competing with them.? Let take a look at them in MY top 5 listings below.

1) PETROLEUM ENGINEERING: This is a very big course to many. And a lot of people who study this course are potential workers at the oil refineries and oil companies. But after these places where can a petroleum engineer work? Absolute no where! Apart for the fact that these graduates compete with graduates of other engineering courses for the limited vacancies they are equally likely to be ignored since it is a restricted course. Chemical engineering which encompasses major chemistry of engineering including Petroleum engineering are great competitors of these people. It means if a petroleum engineer is unable to get a place in the oil industry or oil company. It may become virtually impossible to get any other job due to its nature of restriction.

2) MASS COMMUNICATION: This course also sound so good but apart from the fact they are only resticted to only the mass media, graduates of English language and other related fields are also strong competitors of these people.

3) BANKING AND FINANCE: This course also sound so beautiful and it can easily attract the.mind of Jamb candidates into studying it. But the fact is that the banking sector is a very open sector to virtually any graduates even the science students and yoruba graduates. So at this time, your been a graduate of Banking and finance won't matter at all. The worst is that you are likely not going to get any Job outside the Banking sector.

4) INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Everyone want to be an international man but does the course really profess the name it bears?

5) MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY: Even biochemists are highly respected not to talk of a whole Medical Bichemist. But the fact is Medical biochemistry is under Bichemistry and as a result a restricted course. So they are likely to depend only in the hospital for a job. But sadly, graduates of Medical laboratory science have taken over most of their hospitals and likely to be a great competitor or combater of these set of people.

I doubt your summation is nearly accurate
I studied Mass Communication but then i've been working for Shell Oil for over a decade now!

Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.

"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"


Guys lets discuss the thoughts of Lord Lugard. he had  a supremacist view obviously. But is he right in the way he describes Nigerians and Africans in general? How many of the issues that he raises are valid?

Letz get some responses

So true of the Nigerian Cum African man.....

Flashmove:


Na lie... Nigeria is not up to 160 million, since Buhari came to power, hunger has killed almost 50 million people. Boko Haram has killed more than 30 million people. Bad roads accidents don kill more than 2 million people, Hausa fulani Herdsmen don kill more than 10 million people, Militants don kill more than 15 million people, Army , Police, DSS, don kill more that 17 million Nigerians, Sickeness don Kill more than 40 million people. Abeg , check how many we remain for Nigeria. we are not upto 30 million people Nigeria currently..

How sure are you of these HUGE FIGURES you have quoted?

And by the way, I like your sense of humor........

Then,

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise

I wish you the same. Have a great day!

cyril700:
it is my brother.

Yeah, I've been there and i sure know how it feels...

Ruggedfitness:


The question is.. Do you have body odour?

On the contrary, I don't!

cyril700:
I have a relationship of just 2 months,I have tried my best in calls and everything to make my partner happy. we haven't had sex , but we both profess love to each other. at the first week of the relationship my partner told me she still loves her ex but left due to his random cheating with several ladies she also said she knows the guy loves her too. of recent she has told the guy that she is in a relationship and the guy is now telling her she shouldn't have moved on so fast that he still loves her,and that he is single. she later told me she does not love the guy anymore which I doubt. . so last night, she started telling me that I need to make her feel loved every moment, that she doesn't want to keep remembering her ex.. this statement made me feel she was comparing me with her ex, I got angry and asked her to return to her ex if he was that wonderful, I have done all I can, I give her the little I have and she said she was ok with it since I am vying for a better job in few months time. we agreed that she will meet my mum this month. I haven't cheated on her, we both agreed to a no sex relationship since we don't intend to date more than a year before getting married atleast we can cope. I give her my time, I update her as my dp often, we were just going fine before her ex started this distraction. and she believes an extra thing should be done to take her mind off her ex. please what else should I do coz am about to let it go.

Obviously she's distracted by the very thought of the guy, and i'm pretty sure she still has feelings for him. You need to have a positive mind about this BUT you must thread carefully just so you don't get heartbroken in the long run....

It's a difficult situation, isn't it?

Hello guys, it is your favorite health blogger

A lady once told me that one of her criteria for choosing a man is that he must smell really good.

"why such a requirement" I asked

"Because most Nigerian guys stink and I love a good smell" she blurted

Now, this is not what just one lady thinks but what almost everyone knows, that a lot of guys out there really stink of body odour.

My nose has witnessed it first hand and that is one of the reasons I am writing this article.

Sometimes it is not just their fault, as it takes a lot of work to smell good and even look good.

If you have not yet a part of 10,000 amazing members of my community, join here today.

5 Reasons Why Most Nigerian Guys Have Body Odour

1. They don't bathe well

Most Nigerian guys bathe like Fast and Furious. Sponge here and there and then pour the water on their body and that's it. They believe its only women that are meant to bathe for long and maybe bathe well too. A little scrub here and there will do. But this is just wrong.

Bathing is meant to remove dirt and odours, also reduce the amount of skin bacteria which leads to these odours, so if you think there is no need to scrub really hard and scrub very well then there is no reason for you to wonder why you smell so bad.

2. They don't bathe on weekends

Ladies!!, show me a Nigerian guy that bathes normally on weekends and I will treat you to dinner by the end of the day.

Especially for students and those who don't get to work on Weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). They might as well skip the morning bathe, skip the afternoon if still less busy and take a bathe around 4 to hang out with friends.

Even your favorite health blogger, Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor was once among these guys.

Nigerian guys believe that since they do not have much doing on the weekend, then there is no reason to sponge up.

3. Too lazy to groom

Most Nigerian guys are too lazy to clean up themselves, their houses, kitchen, backyard, toilets, armpit hairs etc just reeks of their personality. They don't really give themselves that much time expect they are inviting a girl over, or trying to get a girl.

That's when you see them brushing like soldiers to kill mouth odour, bathing and scrubbing, cleaning their apartment as if the Health Inspector is coming over.


4. They don't admit it, but cover it up

Most Nigerian guys don't want to admit to themselves that they do have body odour. They take a sniff at their armpits and ugh!!! it reeks, but instead of doing the right thing to get a good scrubbing, they head straight into the market to get the best body spray to cover it up.

Even someone offers a body spray as a birthday gift, they start claiming that he/she is giving the impression that he has body odour (which he knows he has)

You would notice in some individuals that when the smell of the body spray begins to die down, they start smelling weird.

5. It is normal

I heard someone say this quite recently, that body odour is normal and you can never stop sweat. Well, I know that I smell good even when I sweat so I don't understand where this kind of lazy mindset is coming from.

Body odour is a sign that you are not cleaning up properly, if you are saying that body odour is normal and men don't have to work themselves to smell good, that is saying that Vaginal odour is normal and women should worry about it.

There may be many more reasons why Nigerian guys have body odour, but from my experience, this is why most of them have it. Today also, the 4 secrets to killing body odour without deodorant post is coming up. Don't worry you wouldn't have to spend a dime to smell good.

Remember you deserve to look good, let no one tell you different.

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise

Nigeria is a country of over 160 Million people and counting... So when you say 'MOST', i tend to wonder just how many men you were able to carry out a research on before arriving at this 'VAGUE' submission

wman:


Same though here. Just look at how sane the comments are. I also feel threads that are not longer than one page shouldn't be moved to the front page. These first to comment guys soil the threads.

I have to agree with you....

Princedapace:


U talked like this? I laugh!! U think na all the expensive cars u see are legit money, abi? My brother.. he never mentioned life is easy anywhere.. but minimum wage in Nigeria is a disgrace..

At least the countries u mentioned already have basic needs sorted out.. we still pay for electricity which we dont get to see and buy expensive fuel.
I dont have strength to argue bikoo.. He did a good write up.. From poor educational system to unfriendly labour market.. who u go blame?

Well said!!!!!
