I pay over 900k monthly guys still I no Dey see d light to work on a regular. We sha need to protest I swear
Do you mean 90k? On a serious note, of you put that 900k into greener source of energy you will afford to go completely off the national grid and save some money too.

N150K is over £200. Even in the UK we dont pay half of this for Gas and electricity monthly.

Romance / Re: Nigerian Men Abroad, How Did You Choose Your Significant Half? by Sylverbox(m): 8:48pm On Mar 10, 2019
TaminaliaCatapa:
This has been worrisome abeg, I don’t like the idea of bringing any gf from Naija come marry, they mess up real bad.

The Naija girls wey dem born abroad sef, they ain’t any way different from foreigners wey go dey tell you to start sharing house chores 50:50 with dem. There is nothing bad if I do those chores in my own volition, but making it a duty for me is a no-no.

Reason why I cant marry white is obvious, the very immediate point I just made up there, some won’t even let you take your kids back to naija coz it’s shîthole

Please, if you are a
1. Naija married man in a foreign land
2. Didn’t marry here in naija but abroad


How did you get married and what type of woman is she.


Please we wanna learn

This is going to be a tough search for you bro. From experience it will be difficult finding the kind of traditional woman in a western world reason being obvious.

Your best bet will be to marry someone who has been raised in Africa and moved to the west....if you are lucky she will still have good qualities. I was lucky to find one for myself and i put a ring as soon as I saw the attributes. But they are extremely scarce bro.
You must also be ready to bend sometimes.
All the best

Some people are just too inferior. So what if he was a 4 star general? This goes to show that every Nigerian life should be treated as important!

chyy5:
why should I be running for this people called SARS? Why? I can remember one day on the street of port Harcourt I was coming back from work, I saw people running and they said SARS men are coming. I didn't run. I walked pass them and they didn't even say anything. Running makes u a suspect and if you are clean you won't run. I've met SARS several times and we have also argued on several occasions. If they understand you are enlightened and that you are not afraid of them, they will free u. Why would I run and crash my car.
Guy you were just lucky. Trust me, my encounter with them was nothing civil!
They gave me no chance to even say a word...I only tolerated it because I was street wise and I knew it will end with money changing hands!!!

What annoys me with Nigerians is when this assault is being carried out, people stand and watch instead of helping their fellow civilian.


Ordinary Turkish civilians challenged their military with tanks and armoured vehicles
That is the most amazing thing about Nigerians!!! We only come omline and shout #Endsars!

COMING GENERATION SCARES ME...REAL HARD!

While we have been busy talking about Nigeria of today, I wonder if we have spared a thought about how this country will be in the next TWENTY-FIVE years.

On October 1, 1979, when Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari was sworn-in as president, Goodluck Jonathan was just a 22 year-old undergrad of University of Port-Harcourt. Shagari was 54 years old. Ayo Fayose was 19 years old. Bukola Saraki was 17. Yemi Osinbajo was 22. The generation of the likes of Shagari, Richard Akinjide, Adisa Akinloye, Sabo Barkin Zuwo, Sam Mbakwe, Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo, Ume Ezeoke, Christian Onoh, Akin Omoboriowo, Olusola Saraki, Sunday Awoniyi, Garba Nadama, Awal Ibrahim and so on has gone for good!

Some of us in our 40s, 50s and 60s now, where in school then, either in the university or secondary school. We had lofty dreams, both personal and societal. We were always motivated by nationalists and inventors who had impacted positively on the cause of humanity. We were voracious readers of novels and other books. Nelkon for our Ordinary Level Physics, Lambert for Chemistry, B.O ADELEKE and Goh Cheng Leong for our Geography, Phebean Ogundipe for Practical English, William Shakespeare Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, OLa Rotimi and Wole Soyinka for Literature and others like that.

We were always flaunting our knowledge of current affairs. Inter-school quiz, Literary and Debating competition were the in-thing. Nowadays, students can hardly string a sentence together in English without errors.

Fast forward 35 years on and you are shocked and disturbed. Have you ever spoken to or engaged a 20 year-old boy? Ask him what motivates him and he is likely to mention music, hip hop to be precise. He has hundreds of downloaded songs on his phone. He can sing all of them off hand. He knows all the singles of Nice, Neato C, Timaya, Davido, Whiz Kid off hand. The babes among them take pride in enticing men old enough to be their father on social media with buxomly physique. But s/he does not know anything about history of nationalism in the country. Ideas about good society, responsible family and good conduct do not motivate him. He just wants to make money because his friend who does yahoo is rich and rides a good car, her friend who has numerous ‘aristos’ drives an SUV!

The things that interest him/her are things that do not add value. S/he has google but never uses it for advancement of knowledge but to download porn and other inanities. Yet, in TWENTY years time, they are the ones that will be contesting to become governors, senators, Reps members and even president.

They belong to a generation that does not care about morality. They belong to a generation that is motivated only by money and its acquisition. By 2035 to 2040, they will be our senators, Reps, governors and so on.

I wonder if we have ever spared a thought for how this country will look like under them. I told a man recently and these are my words: IF A GUY WHO IS IN LAGOS COULD USE FALSE PRETENCE TO
OBTAIN $20,000 FROM SOMEONE IN UNITED STATES, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF SUCH A GUY BECOMES A STATE GOVERNOR AND IS IN CHARGE OF AN ALLOCATION HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE TO OBTAIN UNDER FALSE PRETENCE? WHICH HIS STATE IS STATUTORILY ENTITLED TO. How did we get into this mess? How can we get out of this predicament? I am worried, deeply worried. Are you?

Note: I don't know the Author of this write up, it was forwarded to me and it's worth reading and sharing.
Finally someone writes something worth reading and as usual, e-worriors will never spend time to read, too busy looking for cheap popularity and making fun of serious situations!
My brother, the future of our Country was long sold for no price at all. Now everyone is looking out for self gains only!
