Best governor that couldn't give Lagos pipeborne water in 20 years and couldn't complete a mere 50 km Lekki Epe road in 20 years , that could complete a mer 35 KM light rail line in 20 years ...

Oh really? He was governor of Lagos state for 20yrs ? Wow

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
I don't seem to be late very interesting when we are in front of you in all aspects keep on supporting criminals suffering and suffering

Indeed you have a big mouth.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
You are a total fool 80% of Nigeria's in Benin Republic are in legal and their visas are over state go and see the Refugee camps of Nigerians in Benin Republic and Togo. I was just watching a documentary right now in Southern African watch in Botswana and Namibia Nigerians are selling their kidneys for citizenship. Keep on deceiving yourself as the poverty capital of the world. I have been to 16 African countries and I will tell you the truth when Nigerians go they are piece of s***. I can tell you right now 70% of Nigeria's in other west African countries are illegal. Where do you enter Benin Republic you go and see the amount of Nigerians in prison you will be shocked when you open your mouth middle-class citizen go and see the amount of refugees

I bet your parents never thought you manners when talking to a stranger ?

You have a problem with Nigerians I get it, don’t let it becloud our good records.

Now I’m done with this back and forth, you don’t seem to be learned.

Golan007:
Una don start again.

E never even manage Anambra you don dey talk Nigeria.

As i said on another thread, give it time and you guys would soon be marketing Ikpeazu.

You’re already judging him before getting started.

Antivirus92:
you're a Tinubu supporter, say the truth and stop hiding...
Lagos has been developed from the time of the white men to when it was the federal capital territory....
Tinubu offered little to nothing there

Lol do I hate Tinubu no he’s human.
Do I like him ? Hell No! He still enough from Lagos.
Do I want Tinubu Atiku or Obi be Nigerian President? HELL NO!

Digest that.

Subsidywise20:
Tinubu is who he claims to be

Having said that, we should not vote for him because

1. He was not that spectacular as Lagos governor...his successor did better than him

2. He is the candidate of APC....a party that has failed over the last 7 years in running this country effectively.

I’m not a fan of Tinubu but he the biggest contributor to the modern Lagos we see now. Successors you talk about only follow through on his plans. And that, if we don’t do party politics in Nigeria, a lot of things would have been in place.

But the idea of pdp started this project, apc need to start its own from scratch is one of our problems, lack of continuity, and that’s what Lagos had been lucky to enjoy since Tinubu.

Hiarmn:
I just have the faith somehow that this man will deliver, Is an economist for crying out loud and he knows all eyes are on him

This is why I refuse to comment on this post. The only thing he mastered in his life is to manage money and some people are just yabbing him already. I have no doubt in Soludo, I wish he could be attempt at Presidency one day.

BritishNaija:
You don't know anything, not only 30years ago, 100years ago.

You dey mind that one ? Lol

VeryWickedMan:
Lol
These ones just start when Russia's first hypersonic missile was more than 30 years ago.

Levels dey abeg

Abi you mean 2,000 years ago

inoki247:
You think say na everybody dey suffer like you or you think I don't know what I'm talking about do the breakdown yourself....


When you buy propane for house, buy Gas for car, pay rent and pay electricity bills nd people at home still looking up to you to send something home and still pay Tax...

You think I'm talking from assumption no be everybody dey assume like you diz a faceless forum we no need to dey brag...


if you love abroad so much nobody's stoping you....

10k wey if u still go buy car on credit buy house with mortgage dem go still dey comot am....


or you think the only state we have in Nigeria is Abuja and Lagos...

I insist a 2k life in Nigeria is better than a 10k life in Yankee...

You've right to your own opinion so please let me too have right to my own opinion and stop coming to my mention with bitterness....

Again you’re still missing the point. Nobody said you was suffering. You’re still opening that gutter mouth again

Question is: have you made 10k monthly in your life and lived in Yankee for you to be able to compare 2k life in Naija?

inoki247:
lol u think say na everybody see traveling out as achievement so far I'm meeting up with my bills I av no worries my life still dey beta Dan some people wey dey d abroad so u people shuld rest no b everybody he worst for in Nigeria....

And who said that? You did!

Also by opening your gutter mouth to say making 2k in naija is better than 10K in yankee… you don reach yankee before and made 10k ? Before you jump to that mumu comparison

SeaTrade:
Baba you're very generous with time.
It takes way longer than that to fully blend but make we just assume say grace dey.

Even that 2-3 yrs I dash him… the wife would be done with school, work permit is expired, the paper process alone will destabilize the journey sef.

1stGenAmerican:
I’ve never worked for Amazon and I haven’t earned $15/hour since I was an undergraduate but hourly wages have nothing to do with the question I posed about remittances.

Every story Nigerians tell about people abroad involves struggle, living in poverty, and barely surviving therefore I asked how Nigerians in the diaspora manage to remit $19.2 billion per year if they are all struggling to survive another day as Nigerians say they are.

Well I personally don’t know anyone who’s struggling to live. You don’t save a lot of money maybe yes, but struggle to survive not really.

1stGenAmerican:
Nigerians in the diaspora remit $19.2 BILLION to Nigeria every year.

If Nigerians abroad are struggling and living in miserable, poverty stricken conditions then how is such a large sum of money being sent home to their families while the people sending still manage to survive and send?

You’re using minimum wage as a reference yet you are using a general statistics of money remittances smh

Abeg you get statistics for people who make $15/hr at amazon and how much they remit ?

SeaTrade:
A year or 2?
Which kind play be this?
You'll burn better 7-10 years to catch up,no jokes.
Have you also thought of what he or she could have done in Nigeria in that 10 years growth wise?
If you're young 18-24 without anything substantial or a clear cut achievable vision,you can move.
But anything above that is most likely setting oneself up for a lifetime of "averageness".
No be beans to leave third world country to go and be exceptional in the most capitalist nation in the world.
It happens on very RARE occasions.

Let’s say he’s super smart and have good connect, he will still burn Atleast 2-3yrs lol and remember studying in the Uk is not automatic residency o, unlike Canada that have a straight path to residency.

1stGenAmerican:
People earning minimum wage usually qualify for subsidized childcare. Public schools are free. What I posted was minimum, most people are doing much better than that.
I don’t know anybody living the hard lives that Nigerians constantly talk about on here.

If your living expenses are so high why don’t you move back to Nigeria?

Haha subsidized childcare you said? You know how long it takes to get those benefits? What state are you in Abeg?

Public school is free from 4-5yrs depending on state, between age 1-5, when mummy and daddy needs to work where do you put the kid? Day care cost average of 600-1000/monthly.

Nobody’s complaining about their living expenses being too high or low… I’m just saying calculating income before taxes don’t work in real terms and they don’t compare at all to a place like Nigeria where most taxes and bills are non existent.

inoki247:
People think say outside sweet the way dem dey hear am ni I pray dem no regret dere steps....


Apart from insecurity nd some social amenities someone earning 2000usd in Nigeria monthly is beta dan someone earning 10k usd monthly in the state....


and living in doz country sef dere type of work be like slavery for my eyes people be doing 3 to 4 work in a day kilode...

as worst as Nigeria dey apart from having side hustle nobody fit du 3 to 4 work in a day in Nigeria....

When you start making 10k in the UK, come back let’s have that conversation again. Yeye talk

1stGenAmerican:
You’re right about that. The myth of working 2-3 jobs like a dog is just a lie people tell unless someone is in either country illegally.
Example: Amazon in the UK and US will hire just about anyone over age 18 who is in the country legally.

Here in the US, Amazon’s minimum wage is $15 per hour, even for people working from home and it’s $10-11.76 per hour in the UK.
A couple without any higher education in the US legally who are authorized to work can stay home and each work 40 hours a week for Amazon (overtime is optional and sometimes unlimited). So without working any overtime:

USA
$15/hr x 40 hours/week= $600 x 2= $1,200/ week
$1,200/week x 52 weeks/year= $62,400 annually in the household

UK
$10/hr x 40/wk= $400 x 2= $800/wk
$800/wk x 52 weeks/yr= $41,600 annually in the household

USA
Overtime = 1.5 of hourly salary
Amazon Overtime for a Minimum Wage Worker in the US is $22.50 per hour

UK
Amazon Overtime for the lowest paid worker is $15/hour

I legit don’t like these calculations they don’t work and don’t compare well, especially that this is before tax and bills.

You have not factor in taxes, child care, if they nothing working they definitely might need a day care before their baby clock 5, car insurance ? Health insurance ?

These bills a very minimal in Nigeria, my friends in Nigeria pay full coverage for a year what I pay in a month. They don’t need to pay $600/month of day care, nor pay $150 monthly on care insurance, nor do they have to pay taxes per se in Nigeria, it’s very minimal.
UK healthcare is cheaper than we have in the US too… these calculations don’t really work in reality

Oh that’s annually? Yes I’d leave too, infact I left
But leaving for UK to go back to school ? Probably not.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
English might not be my first language it is my 3th and I do not say i am perfect in it.
I am talking about economical performance you cannot talk about GDP because most projects in Nigeria are grossly inflated so the GDP is grossly inflated also there is a lot of debt in Nigeria which makes the GDP irrelevant. When we talk about investment and economical performance Nigeria is 17 in Africa. Please take a trip to be near Republic Togo Ghana and Ivory Coast including Cameroon see the amount of Nigerian refugees in those countries go to Kenya and South Africa 90% of Nigerians are illegal refugees Keep on deceiving yourself about the GDP suffering and smiling. You cannot take Nigeria's government statistics because the statistics are in the president's office not statistics department

Lol again look back to your post, English might be my 10th language but I sure understand how economy statistics work you obviously don’t seem to understand it but calling another person an illiterate.

Nigeria’s economy is still the largest in Africa. Being 17th performer don’t mean it’s not bigger than no1 performer.

Also, performing economy doesn’t a country is bigger or small, it just talking about performance. Developing countries have always surpassed even some developed countries in performance and that doesn’t makes it a bigger economy.

Speaking of neighboring countries, i lives in those countries you mentioned and Nigerians in Benin, Togo and Ghana are living the middle class standard lol again, you’re wrong about that. We take money to their country to help develop their countries through trade. I had a registered business in those 3 countries and I know what I’m talking about.

panafrican:
But Europe is NOT a country.
Stop smoking

But Russia, India, Brazil, China and US are continents Abi ? Keep up with your weed.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
You are a total illiterate Nigeria's economy is 17 in Africa do not Fool Yourself.. stop fooling yourself illiterate Nigeria is not doing anything with Morocco Nigeria is doing a pipeline to Niger and Chad to give Bandit and fullanese gas. Do you think Morocco can pay for anything and do you think Nigeria can maintain the gas line if with the gas line which is going to Ghana is not been maintained


Do not forget Nigeria is in haunted billion US dollar debt

Wow! Don’t you see that you’re the original illiterate? Per capital calculations means Nigeria is the 17th economy in Africa?

Really? Go back to school sir. That’s all.

India gdp per capital = 1,900
Nigeria gdp per capital = 2,200

Does that means that Nigeria is bigger than India’s economy?

You refuse to go to school

Ignorance on OPs side. Suleja/Minna area get upto 120 f of heat, not to even mention Maiduguri or Sokoto. What about Northern Africa and Middle East.
Europe is very much affected cos their houses are not designed for heat. Many houses don’t even have AC.
Same heat affected Washington state recently and I got to know that most houses don’t even come with AC, just heaters cos it hardly get hot to that extend. Whereas down South West US most houses are designed and equipped to survive heat and cold but not snow for the most part.

Another waste of post. Comparing a continent to a country smh

Kewtt:
In August 1981, the first "laser plane" A-60, which was designed on the basis of IL-76, soared into the Soviet sky. In the nose part of the model a special fairing with a laser targeting system was installed, along the sides of the fuselage there were turbogenerators, and at the top of the case were opened the doors, from which a laser cannon was advanced.

The US navy have had this type of installation this same time of the year, that’s no big deal. This is exactly what Isreal tested in a much smaller plane.

The US is testing a POD mounted to a plane NOW. What’s you people’s probably with no giving credit to who deserves it.

Russia remains the first country to deploy its laser weapon in war to blind satellites (Ukraine 2022) also first to PUBLICLY test its laser 1984 or so and the US promptly made its own public in the early 1991 or so, nobody argued that. It’s the US time, stop trying to change facts bro.

tamdun:
u don't know that Russia have laser weapons too?

Air mounted pod size ? Prove it!

lekanbobby3:
Russia has already unveiled and tested their own since 2018 even one of it was deployed to Ukraine

No country in the world has publicly admitted to testing a “pod” size air mounted laser weapon.
Isreal was the first to publicly admitted to installing one on “a small plane” some months ago. But nobody else has demonstrated that they are testing a “pod” size.
Prove me wrong though.

I hope the perish starts and ends with you and your family ewu

God1000:
Have you been to Kigali Rwanda, or Windhoek Namibia and other cities built by blacks.

And who are the people keeping Cape town and other cities in South Africa clean?

Rwanda will probably be the first. Windhoek has its Dutch settlers all over it.
