Sharrap, Nigeria is not nearing collapse,it's still one of the best countries on earth.

Nigerians in Canada and America are even complaining of not being able to build wealth.

Shootings and gun violence also happens in America and Canada.

Some Nigerians here have 24hrs power using inverters and solar.

Most Nigerians can easily build their houses while you niggas in canada and US will be paying for mortgages for several years.

You can build wealth depending on how you define wealth. I left Nigeria when I was 19 right after I finished high school and was waiting for my JAMB result. If you are willing to put in the work the sky is the limit to whatever you can achieve in this land of Milk and honey we call the USA. My house is fully paid for and I have been working from my own house going on over 5 years and making six figures. My two boys are all grown up and living on their own with their families. This summer went on a seven days cruise of the Mediterranean with my wife. So tell me again how you define wealth. No bad for someone from Odesa in Ijebu Ode. Eweso !!!!

One how much was the exchange rate in 1999 assuming he was making his money in Nigeria?

Secondly, buying a 1 million pounds house means that he most likely took out mortgage.

The impressive thing is that he had the financial muscles to access such amount of mortgage.

Show me the statistic of a student in Nigeria at the same time doing a side hustle that could have afforded to buy a 1 million pound house in London. Trust me in order to buy a 1 million pound home he would have had to come with 30% down payment. To complicate matters further he wasn't even a British citizen so granting a mortgage was out of the question. Something ain't kosher here. Even Stevie Wonders can see it ain't

Daniel7543:
Aina abi Hyena why did you commit crime in a foreign land?
It's like Aina wants to take his skull mining business to another level.
Between Aboki and Afooonja man, I don't know who's more deadly holding a knife.

You have to be tribal with this right? Intelligence has been chasing after you, but you have always been faster.

zeyheed:
The business he was running alongside schooling earned him that much at 35yo

Exactly my point. It ain't adding up.

ican2020:
This man is really gifted, imagine buying a house at that time for such amount shows Obi is intelligent

It takes only a wise person to make money

I am getting ready in reaching my bus stop when it comes to Obi. I have always been on his side but @ 35 buying a 1 million pound house? Partner, we need to start forensic accounting. I ain't buying this story. Sorry folks

onatisi:
so we should go outside and catch it from hitting the ground ?

Partner, I am just pointing out the discrepancy when it comes to priority in that country. Questions about keeping the soul and body together don't even register with the people in that country.

femisplash:
Lagos for Jagaban 100%, no contest. 5% can go hang themselves.

question how will that affect food prices. Inflation is @ 8% and people in the USA are freaking out of their minds. It's over 20% in Nigeria and that's par for the course. The official exchange market rate is 439 but the black market rate is 820.

LegendHero:
You own delusion is even worse than that of you GCE presidential candidate.

In Lagos, the Arewa community have consistently been pro-Lagos and the direction the Tinubu caucus go is where they go.

Even Atiku won't be foolish to say the nonsense your just regurgitated here.

Ain't this a bit*h. Your currency is free falling and you all are here chatting about some piece of crap election. Lawd have mercy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4d2AKFb4K4

Time to divide this country called Nigeria. What language were those people in the video using? I can't even relate to them. Nothing personal just my opinion. Goddamn

NwaMamaIwota:
just like you're pestering me to marry you

Hummm not the same sister beg to differ. Cos that act made you blush right

neonly:
Belief holes at yur own risk

Why the hatred of women partner? Show some respect alright.

DaniDani:
Atiku's mikano office is on fire in tinubu's Lagos? Okay nah!

Muslim Muslim ticket I ain't got no dog in this fight

Larryton:
First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. So, it's not about tribal war, it's about Nepotism of certain tribe

Okay I see you mean your wife being a Senator and your sister -in- Law in a high position last time I check those are all Yoruba

Richwallet:
Yorubas love their people.

Beside that point any other reason I should vote for your man Ashiwaju. I am a Yoruba man and I want Obi. Give me any other reason why I should go for Tinubu apart from him being a Yoruba.

Cubalabloo:
Happy flying a losser?

Okay kindly enlighten us on your Presidential choice. Tell us two things about your choice to change our mind about Obi.

Fearyourcreator:
Who said you shouldn't go there?

Don't be a smart Alec. You first, If you can obtain forex from any Nigeria bank without jumping through hopes pls let me know, Jeeze. I can work into any bank right here in Fort Lauderdale South Florida and by Forex within 5mins

LOVEGINO:
God wey don run leave naija with their Wahala.

Lol

Fearyourcreator:
Banks or black market

Why ask? When was the last time you walk into a bank and buy Forex?

Gaabasky:
I still remember those days of better life, wazobia with 50kobo note and 1# note.
Those good days.

May God make Nigeria better again

Partner even God himself has given up when it comes to Nigeria. Evidence number one, try and walk from Ogba Excellence Hotel to Berger on that stretch of road there must be over 50 churches and in each of those churches, they are all making the same prayer as you are making. Do you want to tell all these years not one prayer has made it to God? God has abandoned that Country sorry to break the news to you.

Spray:
Pipe supplying water from radiator to engine got bad and I didn't take notice on-time. So they were limited supply of water.

And I was careless to check my temperature at the dashboard.

I called my mechanic and he said my top gasket got burnt. He said if we get it replaced, it will be alright.

My friend who's in to car dealing business said he can help me sell it and get another car.

What's you take about this? Continue with the car or sell it?

Replace Gaskets is not a big deal on Toyota cars.

Umsworld:
The ARABIC written on the naira note is Hausa and not anything ISLAMIC

Just like the LABOUR PARTY Governorship candidate in kano used in his signage

It is called AJAMI

It can be read by an average hausa man who didnt attent WESTERN BASED CURRICULUM SCHOOLS(ENGLISH)

In essence BOKO HARAM !!! There fixed it for yaa

socialmediaman:
Should that money be invested in security or presidential convoy?

Too late Nigeria spend 86% of her budget on governance that leaves 14% for education, roads, defense, and everything else

kokoA:
No wonder they have the worst performing currency in the world.

What you paid any attention to your naira recently?

pinkPUSSY:
Good!!
Fulani will never replace a fulani because southerners are not slaves..

And a Muslim can never replace a Muslim because Chstians are not slaves ...

Yes, Southerners surely acting like one. Constant fighting between tribes. Like I always say Southerners in general are good people, with bright minds but destroyed by higher education. Most Southerners agree on 70% of things it's the remaining 30% that tends to create friction. Like President Reagan said "someone I agree with 70% of the time is my friend" Southerners need to start using that.

Larryton:
Don't mind the deluded hypocrites

Why does every thread have to be a war between tribes?

LegendHero:
Nice one Sanwo-Olu.

350billion is still within range in Lagos for a full budget year considering the size of the budget and the infrastructural spending the government is currently undertaking.

Just give us the light rail by first quarter of next year and complete the rest of the lines.

I can see the children of hate gnashing their teeth up there. Soludo borrowed 100billion within his first few months in office and yet we cannot mention one solid thing he has achieved in Anambla.

But those inhabitant of the failed state will come online to abuse Lagos daily when their area cannot even be compared to a local government in Lagos.

Anambra Agbero receipt.

Partner the whole freaking country is a ghetto so you need to pipe down. Before freaking losing your mind over my remark it ain't me that came up with it. Your former President Obasanjo said it. "Nigeria is the most expensive Ghetto in the world"

SugarGirl44:
Pele o, if you like you can be Awujale’s first born, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a zombie who only follows the crowd, of which that could be one of your lies, y’all keep wishing you were Yoruba, who no like better thing?

And if you’re sensible enough, you should know not to use death to mock anybody because you may leave the world before the person.
I can’t keep exchanging words with an Obidient.
Vote for whoever you like.

From where I am sitting in South Florida I still say your Messiah is a freaking Dead man walking.

colonelwealth:
I totally support Sowore on this.
Godwin Emefiele is a disaster and should be sacked immediately.
He is incompetent and corruption and has been fronting for some wicked cabals.

They want to run the economy down but God will disappoint them and disgrace them.

Disaster is an understatement !!!! The man is a slowpoke. I can shit a better CBN chief than Emefiele.

Moh247:



APC outsmarted PDP on this

PDP and Atiku are banking on Laundering money from Dubai, storing it at home and using it to buy vote

Now if PDP returns stolen funds to Bank, they would get flagged and their agent arrested by EFCC



.

Whatever you are smoking layoff partner it ain't good for you. This ain't APC or PDP crap this is economic 101 get that through your cement head. Jeeze

Voiceofthestree:
Forget all this those people made breau de change DEM get am dollar

That piece of shit CBN chief will not do that because he's foremost a banker and he is out to make money for his bankers friend.

general111:
Calm down, you dont sit in your house and demand that people should be sacked.
You should be asking the cbn chief to explain to nigerians the benefit of what he is trying to do.

Okay you first kindly explain to us the benefits of what this brain-dead CBN chief is trying to do. This CBN Chairman is as dumb as they come. Before implementing the Forex ban on Bureau de exchange naira to the dollar was @ 489 now the rate is @ 768. If the plan was to stabilize the rate the man has failed miserably. All the man did was great artificial scarcity selling to the banks @431 and the same banks turn around and sell for God knows what rate to the same Bureau de exchange. Trust me if CBN announce tomorrow that they will be selling to the Bureau de exchange @ 500 watch and see the rate falls to 560 overnight.

Kasssandra:
P.S

We have been talking about transport...we havent even touched the main subsidy thing...which government is finding difficult to pay, and has been over the years. It costs money to pay for subsides as a whole...not just bridging costs.

As at June, NNPC was saying that without subsidy, fuel would be costing between N300-400 . From the hints government has been dropping, it has been difficult to pay subsdies, and debts and so forth.

at that price still less than 50c wait a sec is that per gallon or per liter? Since Nigeria does not have any functioning refineries what do you expect?
